Highland Elementary School is a consistently low-performing school, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core academic subjects like CMAS/Science, CMAS/English Language Arts, and CMAS/Math. The school's performance has been consistently in the 20-40% range across different subjects and grade levels, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

The lack of diversity at Highland Elementary School, with a student population that is predominantly White (61.1%) and Hispanic (35.31%), may also be reflective of the broader demographics of the Pierce, Colorado area. The school's struggles are further compounded by the poor performance of the Weld County School District No. Re-9, which is also ranked poorly and has a 1-star rating, suggesting that the challenges faced by Highland Elementary School may be systemic within the district.
