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.

I started going to Heritage Highschool in my sophomore year/last year when I recently moved to palm bay not long ago So I was very anxious and scared because this school was bigger then the one I was in before but the students are very friendly and there are also many teachers who strive to help students who are needed for more help to understand a subject. There are programs or guidance to help prepare for college even if you're a freshman the staff helps to make steps for a future.

I remember enjoying the CTE programs because of how engaging they were. The certifications that we were able to gain were great and the projects were fun. The bad side of Heritage was the fights that happened almost every day. I wish more was done to stop or prevent them from happening.

Many opportunities, set me up and prepared me for college and continually supported me in my education. Through Cambridge and Dual Enrollment that allowed me to continually push myself.

Great school. Lots of clubs and sports kids can get into. Kids seem great too. This will be my son’s 2nd n last year. Wish I we had moved 3 yrs ago. He accomplished a lot in a year. Hopefully his senior yr is awesome. He loves it. Lots to do here.

This school does not protect students from violent students. If you do a google search you can see bullying, fights and brawls that have been reported over the years.
