Highwood Hills is a great neighborhood school on Saint Paul's East Side.
We enroll about 480 children in PreKindergarten through Grade 6. Our students come to us primarily from Saint Paul's Eastside, although some students do come from the West Side. Altogether, they represent the beautiful diversity that can be found in our city.

Our teaching staff is composed of dedicated individuals with a wide variety of experiences

Grants & Awards
Highwood Hills has received more than $2 Million in grants in the last five years. The school received a REA Reading grant in 2001 for $1 Million dollars over three years, and then received working  the Federal Reading First grant which gives the school more than $300,000 each year for three years. These funds are designated to improve students' reading abilities in grades K-3, with the goal of having all primary students reading at grade level by the time they leave third grade. Teachers receive staff development training in the latest reseach-based teaching methods, in addition to money for buying books and other resources for their classrooms. Stop by school and visit the literacy center to see how Highwood Hills has made great strides toward its goals!
Presently, Highwood received two other grants, CHOICE and Early Reading First
which brings early literacy to our preschool population.
