Summary

Heritage High School is a large public high school in Saginaw, MI, serving 1,313 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Saginaw Township Community Schools district.

For parents, the most reassuring news is that Heritage excels at keeping students on track to graduate. The school boasts a 90.9% graduation rate—well above both the state average (84.0%) and its own district's rate (82.1%)—with a remarkably low dropout rate of just 2.8%. This is a standout achievement when you look at nearby schools: Omni High School has a 56% graduation rate, and Saginaw United High School struggles even more. Heritage is truly an island of stability in an area where many schools face significant challenges. Academically, students perform at or near state averages in reading, social studies, math, and science—a solid result given that nearly 38% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than the state average. The school also spends less per student ($13,573) than many neighboring districts while achieving better outcomes, indicating strong financial efficiency.

There are a couple of areas parents should watch. Chronic absenteeism is trending upward at 28.4%, slightly above the state average, though the high graduation rate suggests students who miss school are still being supported. More concerning is a recent decline in outcomes for special education students, which dropped dramatically in the latest school year. However, for most families, Heritage offers a dependable, well-rounded education. While the selective Saginaw Arts and Sciences Academy ranks #1 in the state, it's a magnet school with selective admissions and double the per-student funding—not a fair comparison. For a comprehensive public high school that welcomes all students, Heritage's combination of high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and state-parity test scores makes it a strong choice in the Saginaw area.
