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.

It would have been better without COVID. I am a participant in the Early College program, so between that and COVID 19, I did not exactly have the most normal experience.

My children transferred to Heritage from one of the local Christian schools. The class sizes are the same but I feel the attention the teachers give them is greater at HHS. The teachers really do invest in their students.
