Summary

Heritage School serves 478 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Glendale, within the Phoenix-area Peoria Unified School District. In 2025–2026, 32% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 24% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide and 44% and 37% districtwide. The clearest concern is math: Heritage is below both broader benchmarks and most nearby schools in this subject.

Compared with nine nearby schools reporting all-grades results, Heritage’s ELA rate is around the middle: 32% versus a nearby average of 34%, with four schools lower and five higher. In math, Heritage’s 24% is below the nearby average of 28%; it ties Arroyo Elementary School, with three schools lower and five higher. Results vary by grade: seventh-grade ELA is a relative bright spot at 44%, just above the state’s 43% and about 3 points above the nearby average. Fifth-grade math is a pronounced weakness: 20%, compared with 38% statewide, 42% districtwide, and a nearby average of 44%. Among nearby schools, Copperwood School stands out with 54% in ELA and 55% in math.

Heritage’s SchoolDigger ranking fell from the 38th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 20th in 2025–2026; it has one star, and only nearby Glendale American School ranks lower by percentile. Eighth-grade science improved from 20% in 2023–2024 to 26% in 2024–2025, but remained below the state’s 30% and district’s 33%. The student–teacher ratio of 16.8 is close to the nearby average of 16.1. The only reported free/reduced-price lunch rate is 60% in 2022–2023; it is context, not a comparison with nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students from low socioeconomic status ranked Heritage at the 65th percentile in 2024–2025, versus its overall 38th percentile; its measure for Asian students was at the 10th percentile in 2022–2023, versus 42nd overall. Lunch data are available for one year only, subgroup enrollment counts are not provided, science results are reported by grade, and sixth-grade math was suppressed.
