How good is Highland Elementary?

Highland Elementary earns a 7 out of 10 GreatSchools rating, and its recent state test scores stand out: roughly 80 percent of students scored proficient in math and 78 percent in reading, both well above the statewide average for schools serving the same grades. Independent reviewers have placed it among the top elementary schools in Utah on those results.

Class sizes run about 23 students per teacher, a little lighter than some of the larger Highland elementaries. It is one of the older, established schools in this part of the Alpine School District, sitting in a settled residential area of the city.

Where Highland Elementary feeds

Elementary schools matter for the early years, but families usually want to see the whole path. Under the current Alpine School District pattern, the progression runs:

• Elementary: Highland Elementary, grades K to 6
• Junior high: Mountain Ridge Junior High School, grades 7 to 9
• High: Lone Peak High School, grades 10 to 12

Lone Peak High is the Highland area high school in Utah County, and should not be confused with Salt Lake City’s Highland High School. Attendance lines have shifted as the area has grown, and Alpine School District is preparing to split, so confirm your exact boundary before you rely on a feeder. Utah County voters approved dividing Alpine District into three new districts, and Highland is slated to join the new Aspen Peaks School District beginning in the 2027 to 2028 school year. The Alpine School District boundary tool checks any specific address. You can also explore the wider market on our Highland area page.

The Highland Elementary boundary sits in an established part of Highland, so the housing stock tends to be a bit older and more settled than the newer subdivisions on the north end of the city.

• Entry level: smaller or older single-family homes
• Typical: established single-family homes on sizable Highland lots
• Upper end: larger updated and custom homes
