Summary

Heritage Middle School is a mid-to-upper-tier public middle school at 390 N Spring Rd in Westerville, Ohio, serving 592 students in grades 6–8 as the smallest of the five middle schools in Westerville City. It ranks 371st of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (65th percentile, 3 stars) — exactly the same percentile as its district — and has climbed steadily from the 46th–55th percentile band it held from 2015–16 through 2020–21 into a stable 65th–67th percentile range over the last three years, with 2025–26 its best showing in the decade of available data. About 45% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among the four Westerville middle schools that report it and several times the rate at nearby Berkshire Middle School and New Albany Middle School.

Its standout strength is advanced coursework. On End-of-Course exams, Heritage posts 97.2% proficiency in Algebra I (district 76.5%, state 61.6%) and 100% in American History (district 80.7%, state 73.2%), rivaling far wealthier neighboring schools. Across regular grade-level tests, Heritage beats the Ohio average in eight of nine areas. Class sizes are also favorable: its 13.6 student–teacher ratio is the lowest among the four Westerville City middle schools with comparable data and well below comparison schools such as Berkshire (17.2) and New Albany Middle (16.6).

Three areas deserve attention. Eighth-grade math is the only subject where Heritage falls below the state average (46.8 vs. 52.0), though it has improved by 7.8 points over two years. Chronic absenteeism is 18.5% — slightly above the district's 18.2% and far above same-district peers Walnut Springs Middle School (11.2%) and Genoa Middle School (11.4%), which operate under the same attendance policies. Finally, students from low-income families (40th percentile) and students in special education (25th percentile) score far below the school's overall 65th percentile, and both groups have declined for three consecutive years. Improving attendance would likely help lift those results.
