Heritage Middle School

I was class of 09 and I have to say that my three years at HMS was a complete joke! The standards were very low and they tricked us into thinking we were doing very good, that is until I took my Fenwick entrance exam (recieved a score of 39% and needed an 80%). I felt sooooo cheated out of my education. Also, they punished the whole class of 09 for what a few dumb students did. They (the staff) brushed us off and auto passed us and made us morton wests problem. Thats pathetic. I will never forget that trashy racist low remark our principal said on the day we were rehearsing for our graduation. "you're rehearsing for your graduation in order to recieve your diploma and for some of you this may be the ONLY one you will EVER recieve". What a joke!

I have a son who will graduating from 8th grade this year and am happy that he has gone to this school. Every year that he has attended Heritage, he has made a lot of progress. He is a straight A student now and is looking forward to going to high school. He loves school and is involved in extracurricular activities in and out of school. Parents need to be involved in their child's eduation. Don't rely only on the teachers to challenge the kids. The parents also need to challenge them as well. I look forward to sending my two younger children to this school.

My child is a smart kid in the advanced classes that are available. My biggest complaint is that she isn't challenged and she rarely has homework. I feel as if she won't be prepared for high school. On the plus side the staff is very positive and friendly.

I have agree they need to challenge the students. The principal seems to be good as well as the teachers. They just need to challenge these children. I like the communication between students and teachers and parent and teachers and the availability of the staff when needed. My girls are receiving excellent grades, but I am afraid that it is not challenging enough. Extracurricular activites are there. But I do believe they need to include the 6th grade in sports as well.

I just graduated from Heritage and I am not in high school. I was in the honor classes and I was not prepared for high school at all. The only class that I actually got something from was English.

I have multiple children at Heritage School. Whereas my children receive excellent grades, I feel that they are receiving a poor curriculum. I do not believe that the school is challenging these children. The school needs to set higher standards and the school needs to have these other children raise up and tap into what their potential could be, and not accept anything less. Furthermore, after numerous conversations with teachers, I personally believe that they require additional training to meet the ever increasing needs of their students.

The experience that I had a t Heritage school was an excellent. The teacher and the school social worker were a pleasure to work with. I especially liked the communication established between all parties involved and the availability of the staff when needed.

I graduated from Heritage this year, and it was not the greatest of experiences. They disciplined us in a very poor manner, by punishing everyone for somthing few people do. Most of the staff at Heritage is poorly qualified, I hardly learned anything in the subjects of language arts, and math. I do not feel well prepared for high school.
