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.

Scott Jacobs was very abusive to me. He would make fun of me for my disability by mocking my voice and squinting his eyes. He had embarrassed me in front of the class and punched me in the stomach. It is a disgrace this piece of crap is still teaching. Hope someone reports him.

I enjoy the environment, but I do have some problems with the building itself. During my entire school year last year, there was no carpet in the commons leaving us with concrete floors. Also there are an excessive amount of fights in the last year and some times it is concerning. The staff do a good job with events and making the school year fun.

It was an over all decent experience. I came to heritage from Illinois so it was my first look back into Michigan life. The counseling office and assistant principal my freshman year were amazing in helping me get through orientation and aclimate to high school life. My junior year wasn't that fun but Covid is mostly to blame for that. They have an amazing orchestra and choir director who have made my 4 years in the music department lord of fun.

If your child has a disability don't send them there, they'll try and get the child out of the school as quickly as they can. Also switched schools for my daughter due to multiple issues of sexual harassment. School doesn't allow children's counselors to come

Decent school but doesn't set students up for the future. Skills like innovation and imagination aren't taught. Classes are filled with busywork and doesn't properly assess ones knowledge. The counselors are counseling many students at one time, which has multiple negative impacts. It seems like all...

This school is way too big. Children who aren't in the AP classes are left behind. It seems that Heritage wants to compete with SASA, but that isn't what they are supposed to be: They are supposed to be a public school which is concerned for all students.

Easily the top High School in the area for academics and athletics. The teachers are great, the IB Program is something that no other schools around offer, and the quality of learning is above the area's other schools.
