Heritage Park High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Heritage Park High School is a public high school in Owensboro, Kentucky, serving 170 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Daviess County School District, which is ranked 61 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Heritage Park High School has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools over the past decade. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 12% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 44% statewide and 43% in the Daviess County district. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 77.8% is also significantly lower than the 98.4% rate at the higher-performing Daviess County High School and the 95.9% rate at Apollo High School, both within the same district.

One potential factor contributing to Heritage Park High School's academic challenges is its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.65% to 76.32% over the past few years. This is much higher than the 42.41% at Daviess County High School and 55.21% at Apollo High School. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 16.1, could be a potential strength that has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.
