I love sending my kids to this school!! The staff and parents are amazing!! Its not like any school out there.
A great Principal and teachers. I have proud of my kids are go to this school.. from dad of eddy and jane
When I research about Heritage, i discovered it was rated to be one of the top school in Phelan Ca. so i decided to make the moved and sell our old house to give the oppurtunity to my children to be in a better environment where parents and teachers are in union for the best education and well being of our children. So far my daughter is excelling in her grade level. She feels safe and enjoys being in her school. She feels happy and as a parent it is very rewarding to know your kids are safe, happy and excelling to their fullest capacity. hopefully soon i can be able to transfer my other daughter , so they can be together and I do not have to drive another mile to the other school.
Excellent Staff Excellent kids , Character first then academics makes it excel!
Im a student at Heritage school, and I would like to say that this school is very cool school. I would only like to say that the students that go to Heritage don't get much of a choice in their school. Our school times have gone up by 15 minutes. The students were told that the time was going to lunch, but now that the choice was made, it has been added to periods. I think we should have a choice in our school and what we do in it.
This school is a throw-back to the schools of yesteryear... parents are required to be involved with the school activities and their students performance (imagine that!!). The focus is on education!! There is homework EVERY night and the testing is not only on the current subjects but on past subjects covered throughout the year for compete retention of the information. They don t have a uniform, but they do have a strict dress code which helps the kids remain focused on school instead of all the peripheral distractions at most schools. The focus is on education, not passing a test. My daughter just entered High School and because of the level of teaching at Heritage she went straight into Honors everything and has received straight A's her first semester. I'm thankful my two children have been allowed to attend this school... it has set them up to succeed in life.
I was a student at Heritage from 5th grade until 7th grade. In my experience, the teachers were wonderful; in particular, I was very grateful to have Mr. O'Leary as my math teacher. If it wasn't for his class, I would not have made it into the college I am in now. He made sure to go over everything with us step-by-step and offered us a lot of practice opportunities; he even had a study hall/tutoring class at the end of every day for those who needed it. Thank you! I'd also like to acknowledge Mr. Holtz in particular; he taught us how to make movies using green screens! How cool is that? =) The students there were friendly overall, but there seemed to be an undercurrent of 'win-at-any-cost' among them. This was not only in sports, but also in academics. It was a little disconcerting to me.
excellent school and principal. also the parents are involved and they did very well and the kids are learn from they own parents...
Heritage is an outstanding school with great importance placed on PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, which is crutial to your childs education. My children have been attending Heritage for 8 years now, through thick and thin. I have never known that being a friend of your childrens' teachers was possible--let alone beneficial to your children's education. I can go to any of my children's teachers, both past and present, to talk and get advice anytime. Also having a child with special needs that does not attend Heritage, I personally have seen the difference in this school and a REGULAR public school. Heritage is definately not for every family, but is definately the best possible education in the HIGH DESERT and beyond.
Wonderful structure, immense parent involvement and a principal whom truly loves the kids.
