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.

I go to Heritage Grove, I will stay anonymous but I am a 6th grader. Most of the 6th grade teachers are beyond amazing. Mrs. Elliot, Mrs. Whitfield, and Mrs. Adamson will get all of my praise, including our choir teacher, Mrs. Fredrick. Our school lunches are putrid though, but what did we expect it's from Aramark. Decent school, the staff are kind, including our main custodian. The students are biased and rude, though. Popular girls should be banned from Tiktok..

I loved going to Heritage Grove Middle School. In fact, last year was probably the best year of my school life due to the fact that I had some of the best teachers in history. I met and got along with the principal just fine, I could even say we were friends! I loved going to this school even though school can be boring and a pain. The best thing was that the teachers really knew how to teach, something I don't have this year in High school. I met lots of diverse and unique people and I hope this school can keep up it's reputation.

This is al...

Some of the teachers are great but most of them don't even pay attention to what you do and tell you what to do at the last minute. I definitely won't suggest this school to anyone.

way back when I was here, my closest friends had to go to a different high school than me because of district lines... then why did they go to heritage grove if they couldn’t go to Plainfield north? Why would you separate them like that? Plainfield north and heritage grove are way too close for dist...
