My kids love this school!! I have a kindergarten (KG-G) and a first grader (1-S). They love their teachers. Everyday they come home with something good to tell daddy and me. My first grader talks so much about her computer teacher, about how awesome and nice he is with her and the rest of the students. They come home with new songs or new things they learned. Everyday is a big learning day for them. I am very glad I enrolled my kids at Heritage Elementary. The Principal is great and helps the parents and students so much!!

AWESOME facility for a charter school -- or any school come to think of it. Great staff. Free before and afterschool care which the kids love. Close to Luke. Bussing to your neighborhood for only $5/month. Free breakfast for the kids at their classroom desks every morning. They have a greenhouse, a computer lab, two cafeterias, a really huge gym with a stage and great family events. We really love this school!

My kids and I really love this school. It's always a hard choice to move your kids and I feel like we absolutely made the right one by moving them here.

My family loves this school and its staff! My kids couldn't be happier and we're extremely picky parents when it comes to our kids' education. Our friends and I all moved our kids here and have been more than pleased with our choice. The facility is much better than Crown Charter (nearby school) and it goes up to 8th grade with a great facility.

I am impressed! After homeschooling my kids for two years due to a non-perfect fit at our local public school, I was skeptical about enrolling them in a charter school this year. I am SO GLAD THAT I DID! This school's campus is AWESOME! It has a complete middle school for 6th to 8th graders, with a huge gym, lockers, computer labs, etc. All of the staff is super friendly! The teachers seem to be invested in the education of both of my 3rd and 6th grade sons. They LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I love the option of bussing and FREE BEFORE/AFTER CARE if I need it from 6am-6pm. Can't say enough good things about this place!

When my oldest son was first started attending this school in 2007 for Kindergarten the school was great, when my 2nd son started there for the 2010/2011 school year things went WAY down hill! The bussing situation alone was terrible with drivers that can't control the bus. The school alone had little to no parent/staff contact. The turn over in teachers is high. My sons kindergarten teach who was no older than 22 yrs old last year tried to put my son in an anger management class just to get him out of her class for a little while. There were so many issues last year, and I'm so glad that my children WILL NOT be attending this school EVER again. My fear now is that they may be behind at there new school, because of the last few years at Heritage. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!

There are so many wonderful things about this school and the direction it is headed! I am so proud to be a member of this organization, and I would strongly encourage anyone with questions about the school to go straight to the source for information. There are many biased reviews posted here of previous employees or families who are sadly out for malicious purposes, who do not share in the direction and the goals of the school. Many improvements and changes are in place for this upcoming year, and I'm excited to be part of the Heritage staff!!!

I have had so many issues here at Heritage! I am so ashamed that my kids ever attend this school. My kids have been cussed at by the "director of sports" pushed by a teacher, the bus is totally unsafe and no a/c, never on time. It is a shame how far down hill this school has went. There is no way I will be returning. The sports program that they brag so much about is so unorganized. This place is a joke and no more. Heritage doesn't even deserve 1 star but this site leaves you no other option.

I am a student at this school and I wish I never was! I am currently in seventh grade and I have been here since I was in fifth grade. My 6th and 7th grade years have not been good. There are very few teachers that actually care about the students. I mean don't get a degree in teaching if you don't want to teach! There has been vodka bottles found in the 7th/8th grade bathroom, bullying,and numerous fights this year. I am advanced student and I do not recieve the accomadations that I need. I have to sit in class being bored because others kids do not learn the way I do. Because of my illnes( Reflex Sympathetic Distrophy) I am teased constantly because I can not do the things that other kids can. When people ask me what school I go to, I am ashamed to tell them that I go to Heritage Elementary School. Ever since 2009,when our previous owner Mr. Robinson left, this school has gone down hill. Parents should not send their children here for various reasons. If you want a quality school, than Heritage is not the school for you! This school deserves a 0 out of 5. It also needs some major improvements. We don't even have enough books for everyone. 5 kids have to share 1 book!
