School Overview

Tucked into the foothills of Concord near the Clayton Valley border, Highlands Elementary has a quieter, suburban feel that sets it apart from busier parts of the Mt. Diablo Unified district. The school shows particular strength in math and science, making it a solid fit for families who prioritize STEM foundations in the early grades. It's a good option for families settling into the neighborhoods east of downtown Concord, where the pace slows down and the hills start to rise.
