Montgomery Co Council Highland View

Highland View Elementary School is unique within the Montgomery County Public School system and is easily overlooked.  We are a small, neighborhood school, with less than 400 students in grades Kindergarten through Fifth.  Roughly 50% of our student population qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch program; and of the remaining 50% of the families, many are single income families whose budgets are slim.  Furthermore, 40% of our student community has English as their second language, with more than 10% of our academic staff dedicated to English as a Second Language (ESOL) enrichment for our largely African and Hispanic immigrant population.  Despite these high numbers, we do not qualify for the Title 1 status and do not benefit from additional funding associated with a high-needs school. This is why our school community seeks your support.
