HIGHLAND SCHOOL

HIGHLAND SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the HIGHLAND JOINT DISTRICT school district, located in CRAIGMONT, ID with about 179 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, HIGHLAND SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

HIGHLAND SCHOOL, located in Craigmont, Idaho, serves as the primary educational institution for the Highland Joint School District #305. Situated in a rural agricultural community, the school functions as a K-12 facility, housing both elementary and secondary students under one roof. This configuration fosters a close-knit environment where older students often serve as mentors to the younger population, and teachers maintain long-term relationships with students throughout their academic careers.

As a small rural school, Highland emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, focusing on core academic standards while offering extracurricular opportunities that keep students engaged despite the school's modest size. The district prides itself on being the heart of the Craigmont community, often serving as a central hub for local events and athletics. By prioritizing a supportive atmosphere and individualized attention, the school aims to prepare its graduates for success in higher education or the workforce while maintaining the traditions and values of their local community.
