Summary

Heritage Hills Middle School is a public school in Lincoln City, Indiana, serving grades 7–8 with 341 students as part of the North Spencer County School Corp, a district that ranks 11th of 374 Indiana districts. In 2025-26 the school ranked 12th of 486 Indiana middle schools — the top 2% in the state, with 5 stars — and has been in the top 16 every year from 2020-21 through 2025-26. For context, the next-best nearby school, South Spencer Middle School, ranked 72nd.

English language arts is Heritage Hills' clearest strength. Its 2025-26 all-grades ELA proficiency of 65.5% is the highest among the nearby schools listed, and its 7th grade (65.07%) and 8th grade (65.87%) results are roughly 22–23 points above Indiana's state averages. Math is strong too: 62.62% across all grades, above every comparable nearby 6–8 school except Cedar Crest Intermediate School (69.23%), which serves grades 5–6. Heritage's 7th grade math (63.01%) leads the nearby middle schools, while its 8th grade math (62.28%) trails only Southridge Middle School (67.67%). Notably, Heritage's 7th and 8th grade results differ by less than one percentage point in both subjects, whereas nearby schools often show much wider swings.

Chronic absenteeism was 8.3% in 2024-25 — well below Indiana's 16.7% and improved from 12.3% the year before — though Southridge (6.1%) and Cedar Crest (1.0%) were lower. About 35.19% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a lower rate than several nearby schools. Heritage spends less per student ($8,663 in 2023-24) than any nearby comparison school while producing top-tier results. Two things to watch: the student-teacher ratio rose from 16.1 to 18.9, and math proficiency dipped from 68.45% in 2024-25 to 62.62% in 2025-26, still far above state and most nearby schools.
