Highland Community Elementary is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Highland School District school district, located in Highland, WI with about 154 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
