Summary

Heritage Intermediate School is a public school in Middlebury, Indiana, serving 574 students in grades 4 and 5 as part of Middlebury Community Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 170th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 83rd percentile — and earned 4 stars. That continues a steady climb: the school was at the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2015–2016, the 56th percentile in 2018–2019, the 55th percentile in 2023–2024, and the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025. Recent test scores are above both district and state averages, with all-grade proficiency of 55.27% in English language arts, 63.37% in math, and 58.65% in science.

Fourth grade is a clear strength. Heritage's 4th graders scored 59.94% in ELA, 71.15% in math, and 58.84% in science — each well above the state, with math roughly 19 points higher. Fifth grade is more mixed: 50.66% in ELA, 55.59% in math, and 55.59% in social studies, all still above state averages but noticeably below the school's 4th-grade results. Among nearby schools, Meadowview Elementary School (90th percentile) and Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School (86th) rank slightly higher, while Heritage sits well ahead of Chamberlain Elementary School (54th), Parkside Elementary School (44th), West Goshen Elementary School (34th), and Bristol Elementary School (27th). Notably, Heritage achieves this with the lowest per-pupil spending ($9,726) and the highest student-teacher ratio (20.0) in that comparison group.

Heritage serves a moderately higher-need population: 40.24% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared with about 27–28% at Shipshewana-Scott and Meadowview. Chronic absenteeism was 13.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 14.2% and the state's 16.7%, but up from 8.2% the year before and higher than most same-district K–3 schools, including Orchard View School (7.1%), Middlebury Elementary School (9.6%), and Jefferson Elementary School (11.0%). The main things to watch are the 4th-to-5th grade gap — roughly 15.6 points in math — and the recent rise in absenteeism.
