Summary:
The Heritage Elementary School district in Arizona operates two public charter elementary schools serving grades K-8. While the larger Heritage Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, the smaller Heritage Elementary - Williams has shown more varied performance, ranking as high as 420 out of 1,226 schools in 2020-2021 before dropping to 500 out of 1,245 schools in 2022-2023.
Both schools struggle with below-average test scores, particularly in Mathematics, and have a concerning dropout rate of 5.2% for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Heritage Elementary School's strongest performance is in 3rd grade English Language Arts, where 46% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 36%. However, the school's weakest area is 6th grade Mathematics, where only 22% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of 29%.
While the data set lacks important information such as free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios, the available metrics suggest that the Heritage Elementary schools have room for improvement in academic performance and student retention. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these challenges could be a focus for the school district as it works to provide a high-quality education for its students.
