About Our School
Soaring to New Heights!
Nestled against a green hillside, Highland View Elementary School has been a neighborhood school since 1953 and was modernized in 1994. Our 52 faculty and staff members have a strong commitment to teaching our 350 students who come from diverse backgrounds and speak a variety of languages, such as Amharic, Arabic, Burmese, Khmer, French, Rundi, Spanish, Swahili, Twi, and Wolof.
Our Highland View community actively participates in PTA activities and generously donates time to volunteer in our classrooms throughout the school year.
Highland View is one of four elementary schools that feed into Silver Spring International Middle School.
