the school's academics and programs are great. the sports medicine acadamy gets you first responder certified. The mechanics acadamy gets you certified when you graduate. We also have the environmental acadamy. the cambridge acadamy, which is an excellent advance program because every college in the world accepts those credits and looks at it highly. The only downfall is that this school is too diverse. Rednecks are a problem at this school. they offend alot of people and make racist comments to people. it surprises me how they are allowed to wear their their flag and offensive shirts. For example, one shirt said this is america speak english. the handbook clearly states that the american flag is the only flag that can be displayed to avoid conflict. Heritage administrators get your act together and see that rednecks are offending other students

About the tests

Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
