Summary

Heritage School is an elementary school located in Glendale, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 493. It is part of the Peoria Unified School District, which is ranked 138 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, ranking between 497 and 728 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other Arizona elementary schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its strongest performance in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts, where it approaches or matches the district and state averages. However, Heritage School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the Peoria Unified School District and the state of Arizona averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

While Heritage School's spending and student-teacher ratio are in line with the district and nearby schools, such as Marshall Ranch Elementary and Copperwood School, it underperforms many of its neighboring schools within the Peoria Unified School District. The school has also seen a steady increase in its dropout rate, rising from 3.3% in 2019-2020 to 6.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Addressing the needs of its diverse student population and improving academic outcomes should be key priorities for Heritage School.
