My daughter attended Heritage for 3rd and 4th grade. She loves the school, the principal, and all the teachers and students. It's small like family. When there is conflict between children the teachers are patient and caring in helping with each child build social maturity. My two favorite subject is Singapore math self paced and bible memorizations. Everyone is like an extended family to me and I trust them to teach my child both academically and morally.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
