Summary

Heritage High School is a public high school located in Maryville, Tennessee, serving 1,061 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Blount County School District, which is ranked 59 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage High School's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 112th and 179th out of 300-400 Tennessee high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 2 to 4 stars. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with its ranking for Hispanic students and Special Education students significantly lower than its overall ranking. However, the school performs better for female and male students, as well as low socioeconomic status students, compared to the overall ranking. Heritage High School's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 86.5% to 95.8%, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 1.9% and 8.1%. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.5% to 20.2% in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as William Blount High School and Maryville High School, Heritage High School generally performs worse in academic proficiency and other key metrics. The school's increased per-student spending, from $9,315 in 2020-2021 to $13,262 in 2023-2024, has not translated into consistent improvements in academic performance, suggesting the need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.

Heritage High School has poor luches, Rude faculty, and doesn't listen to thier students. I have had multiple problems with Heritage and my own experiences have not been good so far. I even tried to change schools, but Blount County said I could not. I think that teachers cursing me out and taking pictures of my dead baby cousin from me just becuase I cried over it only a few days after her death, are not good qualities in a school. Niether is a school that offers no options for children with food allergies, other then them using money they dont have to buy thigs like water. Close Quote
