Highland Elementary School is the gem of Baton Rouge, hosting one of the strongest collections of educators who put the needs of students first. We offer a diverse learning environment that is challenging and encourages high expectations for success through developmentally appropriate instruction that supports individual differences and learning styles. Highland’s rich heritage has developed a foundation for students to excel on their academic journey in their home away from home. We are proud of our legacy of educating students since 1902.
