Summary

Heritage Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Atlanta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 444 students. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 47th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 894 and 1,238 out of around 1,200-1,250 schools. The school has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the years analyzed, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. This is reflected in the school's low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments, which are significantly lower than the Fulton County and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Fulton County district, such as Nolan Elementary, Brookview Elementary, and S.L. Lewis Elementary, generally perform better than Heritage Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. However, these nearby schools also have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating they serve similarly disadvantaged populations. Interestingly, Main Street Charter Academy, which is outside the Fulton County district but still relatively close to Heritage Elementary, outperforms Heritage and the other nearby public schools on academic measures, despite also serving a high-poverty student population.
