SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 338 Colorado High Schools

Better than 91% of Colorado high schools

Summary

Heritage High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Littleton, Colorado, serving 1,748 students in grades 9–12 as part of Littleton School District No. 6, a top-ranked Colorado district. The school ranks 31st out of 338 Colorado high schools in 2025–2026 — the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating — placing it ahead of Highlands Ranch High School, Littleton High School, and Columbine High School in the immediate area, with only Arapahoe High School ranking higher. Heritage's 93.4% graduation rate exceeds both the district (92.9%) and state (85.6%) averages, and proficiency rates are well above state averages in reading, writing, math, and science.

Heritage's standout strength is literacy. In 2025–2026, 83% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Reading/Writing, compared with 60% statewide, and roughly 9 in 10 freshmen and sophomores reached proficiency on the PSAT Reading/Writing section. These numbers parallel elite performers like Arapahoe High School and Mountain Vista High School, while comfortably outdistancing Littleton High School (62%) and Columbine High School (67%). Heritage also performs well across student groups — students from low-income backgrounds rank 23rd statewide, disabled students rank 7th, Hispanic students rank 26th, and gifted students rank 4th — indicating success is broad-based rather than limited to a single segment.

Math and science are solid but offer room for growth. Heritage's SAT math proficiency of 51% exceeds the state's 32% but trails Arapahoe (59%), Thunderridge High School (58%), and Mountain Vista (54%). Science proficiency (44.9%) beats the state average (24.8%) but lags Mountain Vista (63.4%). Chronic absenteeism is the most visible watch item: at 19.4%, it is higher than the district's 16.0% and above Thunderridge's 13.0%, though still below the state's 28.4%. Notably, Heritage's free/reduced-lunch population has grown from 10.3% to 20% over three years while the school maintained a top-10% state ranking — evidence of stability and effective support for a changing student population.
