In 2025–26, Heatherstone’s proficiency was above state and district levels in ELA, math, and science. The clearest concern is science: proficiency fell 14 percentage points from the prior year to 48%, placing it ninth among 11 nearby schools.

ELA is Heatherstone’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 71% proficiency was 9 points above their 62% average, ranking fourth of 11. Grade 5 ELA stands out at 76%, second among nearby schools and 12 points above the district. Math was closer to the local norm: 63% compared with a nearby average of 60%, ranking sixth.
