Summary

Heritage Academy Of Del Rio is a small charter high school in Del Rio, TX, serving 191 students in grades 9-12, where 84.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has shown a remarkable upward trend in state rankings over the past decade, moving from the 22nd percentile to the 63rd percentile and earning a 3-star rating.

This school truly stands out for its exceptional performance with high-need student groups. While nearby schools like Del Rio High School and Blended Academy struggle, Heritage Academy consistently ranks in the top 25% of the state for its Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-income students. For example, in 2024-2025, it ranked in the 86th percentile for Hispanic students and the 89th percentile for both English Language Learners and low-income students. The school also excels in Biology and U.S. History, with 78.7% of students proficient in Biology and 86.7% in U.S. History in 2025-2026, far outperforming Del Rio High School (58.2% and 64.4%) and Blended Academy (34.8% and 30.8%). This creates a unique "value-add" profile where the school is more effective than its overall rank suggests, especially compared to Del Rio Early College High School, which has a higher rank but serves a less economically disadvantaged population.

Heritage Academy also demonstrates impressive resource efficiency, spending significantly less per student ($8,611) than nearby traditional public schools like Del Rio High School ($11,271) and Blended Academy ($11,393), yet achieving far better academic outcomes. The school has maintained a high graduation rate, reaching 100% in three of the last five years, though a recent dip to 91.9% and a rise in the dropout rate to 2.6% in 2023-2024 is a new challenge to watch. Overall, this school, part of the Heritage Academy district, offers a compelling option for families seeking a school that effectively supports students from diverse backgrounds and delivers strong results in key subjects.
