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. Highland is where students make history.
