of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 18% of California elementary schools

Summary

Heritage Elementary is a public K-6 school serving 432 students in the Lodi Unified School District, but it faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 20% of all California elementary schools.

The school's performance has been volatile, with a recent sharp decline in its statewide ranking, and it shows particularly low proficiency in science compared to both the district and nearby schools like Vinewood Elementary and Lois E. Borchardt Elementary. Heritage serves a student population with very high economic need, and it is part of a cluster of schools in the area, including Beckman Elementary and Clyde W. Needham Elementary, with similar demographics and performance levels.

Despite overall struggles, the school shows a notable strength in supporting English Language Learners. The contrast with the high-performing Vinewood Elementary, located in the same district, suggests factors beyond demographics influence outcomes, and Heritage's higher per-student spending has not yet translated into stronger academic results compared to its peers.
