Summary

Heritage Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, serves approximately 597 students in grades PK-5 within the Fulton County School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Heritage has shown meaningful progress over the past few years. Its state ranking improved from the 13th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, and chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 50.1% in 2021-2022 to 28.3% today—a 44% reduction. While that rate is still nearly double the district average (16.6%), the steady improvement suggests attendance interventions are working. In math, Heritage's proficiency rates (31.4% in 3rd grade, 31.3% in 4th grade, and 23% in 5th grade) trail Fulton County averages by roughly 30 points, but they are competitive with nearby schools serving similar populations. For example, Heritage's 4th grade math scores exceed Brookview Elementary School (17.6%), College Park Elementary (23.6%), and West Clayton Elementary School (18.6%). Science is a relative strength, with 5th grade proficiency at 30.9%, outperforming several nearby schools including Feldwood Elementary School (25.8%) and Martin Luther King- Junior Elementary School (22.2%).

Heritage spends $19,668 per student—more than most comparable schools—and maintains a favorable 12.9:1 student-teacher ratio. However, outcomes haven't yet matched this investment. For instance, Nolan Elementary School spends $2,592 less per student yet ranks at the 41st percentile, while Heritage sits at the 22nd. There's also a notable gender gap: female students rank at the 39th percentile statewide, while male students rank at just the 11th. On a positive note, African American students at Heritage rank at the 49th percentile, suggesting the school is relatively effective for this population. Looking ahead, the school's improving attendance, modest ranking gains, and strong science scores offer a foundation to build on, though targeted support for upper-grade math and male students will be key to accelerating progress.
