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.

There is not much to tell besides the lack of administration. Since the shifts of principal, the school administrators and their duties have shrunk leaving the kids without proper guidance or help.

I have had a great experience at Heritage. My teachers are always there for me and I can always go to my favorite teachers for advice, help academically, etc. They build bonds with students that we will never forget. They have activities for us a lot. We always have a busy schedule full of activities. I also love the multitude of opportunities to volunteer or to receive community service hours.

Heritage High School has prepared me for college in a number of ways. There are many clubs, extracurricular actives, organizations and sports to be involved with. Overall the teachers are all very easy to get along with and the curriculum is good. I wouldn't say there has been a "worst thing" to happen because overall it has been a great experience. All I can ask for is more organization with planning and dates. As well as dates to come out sooner so that students and parents can plan ahead.

Heritage High school administrators, teachers, and coaches don’t care about the students at all. Anyone who has a mental health problem they turn away and usually make fun of those people. They treat autistic people like they’re the most horrible people on earth as well.

The teachers are laid back and chill, unlike HMS. It has a better environment, and administrators know how to make the school run smoothly.

When stating if I would recommend this school, it is not a matter of "yes" or "no". It is a "depends". It depends on the student. If they are very academic, or athletic, well then yes. This is a great school for that. Unfortunately it is not a school for those who are the "norm". There are some awes...
