School Overview

Grandview Upper Elementary School is located in Tarentum, Pennsylvania, and serves as part of the Highlands School District. As an "upper elementary" facility, the school is specifically designed to bridge the gap between primary schooling and the middle school years, typically focusing on students in the middle-to-late elementary grade levels. The school operates under the umbrella of the Highlands School District, which is widely recognized in the region by its mascot, the "Golden Rams."

The school’s official web portal, found at www.goldenrams.com, serves as a central hub for the entire Highlands School District. Through this site, parents and community members can access resources such as academic calendars, faculty contact information, school board updates, and district-wide policies. By integrating Grandview into the larger "Golden Rams" network, the school emphasizes a unified approach to education, aiming to foster student development through consistent district standards and a commitment to preparing students for their eventual transition to the district's secondary schools.
