Catawba Heights Elementary is a neighborhood school with deep community roots. With small class sizes and strong partnerships with local churches and organizations, we create a supportive learning environment where students thrive. Our students continue to meet and exceed expectations on math and reading End-of-Grade tests, showing strong academic growth year after year.

Providing care for students at school

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
