School Overview

Hightower Elementary sits in Doraville, a small but vibrant city on the northern edge of DeKalb County that's long been one of metro Atlanta's most culturally diverse communities, home to a rich mix of Latino, Asian, and other immigrant families. The school reflects that neighborhood fabric, making it a natural fit for families who value a multicultural environment and want their kids learning alongside peers from all walks of life. Academics here are a work in progress, and families who go in with open eyes and a willingness to get involved in the school community tend to find the most rewarding experience.
