Summary

Heritage Intermediate is a well-regarded public middle school serving about 1,175 students in grades 6-8 within the high-performing Etiwanda Elementary district in Fontana, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 20% of California middle schools.

The school demonstrates significant strengths, particularly in supporting specific student groups, with its programs for Hispanic, African American, homeless, and English Learner students ranking in the state's top 15%. While its English Language Arts scores are strong, math proficiency is an area for growth compared to top district peers like Day Creek Intermediate. A notable finding is the performance gap within the same district; Heritage is a very good school, but Day Creek Intermediate, just a few miles away, ranks even higher, highlighting how outcomes can vary between neighborhood schools under the same district umbrella.

Compared to schools in the neighboring Fontana Unified district, such as Fontana Middle or Sequoia Middle, Heritage achieves its solid academic results with considerably lower per-student spending and lower chronic absenteeism. The school has also shown impressive improvement in attendance since the pandemic and operates efficiently, providing a stable and consistently mid-to-upper tier educational experience for its diverse student body.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, December 7, 2009

I found the teachers at Heritage to have a genuine interest in helping many of the children develope to their best potential. I am happy to say that I could not have asked for a better place to send my son and daughter. I hear some other parents make complaints, but it's usually the same people every year that I see make excuses for their kids poor study habits and their own lack of attention to their kids school work.

As an active parent, I take time to see after my child's education and I can honestly say that the Principle, teachers and staff are great! My children aren't the brightest stars out there, but it certainly makes a huge difference when you have some shinning lights to help guide them and that's what I see. My kids will be graduating and moving on, and I feel good about their years at Heritage.
It also recieved a Distinguished school and I can see why.
