My kids love this school. They have lots of friends and they are always doing something after school. What is a plus for us is free before and aftercare and free bus transportation.

Poor. Best advice would be to select a local public school that has guidelines on hiring qualified teachers/administrators.

By far the best school to take your children to. My three boys all attend Heritage and we couldn’t be happier. The Teachers are all wonderful, and so is the rest of the school personnel. They have a ton of activities throughout the school year for the children and their families to be involved in. The office staff know each child/family and go out of their way to make sure every child is happy/safe. The free after care program is also a perk. I highly recommend this school.

Great school, wonderful teachers and staff. Moved from another local school to here and couldn't be happier. Better academics they offer athletics and music. They challenge the kids but also reward them.

I’ve had no issues with this school. I have not heard of bullying in this school which is a big concern to me. Staff knows most of the student’s names which makes it a very tight community.

I have a Kindergartener and an 8th grader in Heritage. They love their teachers and the school. They don't love the dress code, but I do. The uniforms are great.

This school, while I'm sure has some excellent teachers, has too many deeply rooted systemic issues that have a significant negative impact on children. I put my son in there for a change of pace from the public school system and it was nothing but a nightmare from the very first week. I can only speak to his 6th grade teachers but it appears that some are more interested in issuing pink slips and lunch detentions for things that should be handled in class and mostly for nothing more than being annoyed. As an example, his homeroom teacher issued him a lunch detention because he raised his hand to ask a question about an assignment. Why? Because the teacher could not get his class to be quiet so he could hear and because my son called him on it as the reason he was asking, he was rebuked and punished. Luckily, there was another teacher who overruled that one but that is but one of many examples. Again, he adored most of his teachers but the few that are more concerned with pink slips than doing their jobs had a significant impact on his grades. The principal and vice principal are ineffective and show little or no objectivity. They label things as they see fit and again are more interested in punishing kids for being kids than they are in educating them. To top it off, there is no communication between the teachers and parents.Student confidentiality and privacy are a joke since they are more than willing to divulge confidential student information in public without identifying whether or not that person has a right to the information in direct violation of federal law (FERPA). When brought to the principal's attention not only did he NOT do anything about it but rather, he tried to justify it. I am not a whining parent of a problem child who refuses to deal with his child's behavior; quite the opposite. While he isn't perfect, he has NEVER hated school so much. Since transferring to the public middle school, he is A's and A+'s is all his classes, gets frequent compliments from his teachers on his behavior, and all enjoy having him in class. He is happy and is enjoying school again with NO discipline problems. Kid or school? I doubt it's the kid. Unless you have no other choice, keep your kids away from this place if you care about their success.

Ms. Warren has been an exceptional teacher since my son started Kindergarten this year. She is always accommodating to my emails and her replies are always pleasant. My son has nothing but good things to say about his teacher. We are blessed to have a fabulous and caring teacher!

I love this school! They have really met and exceeded all of my expectations in a school. They are constantly doing fun activities for the kids and everyone I have dealt with have been great. Their before and after school programs are such a life saver too! My child loves it and I can be at work in peace knowing they are being taken care of.

I love Heritage! The teachers are very nice as well as the bus driver. My boy loves the school and he LOVES P.E. He gets excited every Thursday because he knows he is going to have PE class. He says that the teacher is nice and makes the class very fun. Even though he says he loves his teacher and likes the school, I was very worried because his reading was not good at first, and being in 3rd grade he could be retained because of AIMS- without me saying anything to his teacher she enrolled him in Title I where they are giving him extra help with his reading. He says he likes it too!! Win, win for us! The communication with the teacher is great. She contacts me for everything- and I love that! The only problem I have is that the bus picks him up at 6:30am- that is a little early for us but we can deal with that.

Great school! My daughter started coming to Heritage when she was in 1st grade. Coming from a district school It was such a huge changed for her and for us. We loved it since day one. Now she is in 4th grade and we are still very happy. Teachers care so much for the students- not only parents can see it, but the students can feel they are loved. My third grader LOVES school too! They both have improved so much. They have so many activities for them. As a working parent, I love that when I pick up my kids from school, they are done with homework. The after care program is truly a blessing to us. Thank you Heritage!! We love you
