GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What I would like to see at this school first of all, is a better lunch. Its mostly good except if you don't get to the line in time your stuck with old frozen chicken sandwhiches, which are not very good. Another thing I'd add is less opinionated teachers when it comes to politics.

There isn't very many unique clubs, the clubs are all kind of similar, student unions and other organizations without many fun or unique clubs

Heritage high school was an overall great experience in the recent years that i've had. Freshman and sophomore year were the hardest academically and socially, but I found that as the years move on the years have gotten better. I am now a senior, and love the people and classes that this school has to offer.

So far, the school has exceeded my expectations. My daughter is thriving both in class and through extra-curricular activities. We’ve found amazing teachers, coaches and mentors as well as as a community of school spirit. My only complaint is traffic !

over all a pretty good school. Bullying is a issue for me and teachers don't really do much about it. Unfortunately there is a lot of transphobia when it comes to students. Once again teachers turn a blind eye and ignore it. The teachers overall are great but its very hard to get your pronouns chang...
