Summary

Heritage Hills Elementary in Amarillo, TX, is a PK-4 school serving 445 students within the highly-regarded Canyon Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 80th percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its remarkable resilience and strong academic performance. After a dip in the 2023-2024 school year, Heritage Hills rebounded powerfully, jumping to the 84th percentile statewide—a gain of 26 percentile points.

This combination of a top-tier district, exceptional math instruction, and strong support for all learners makes Heritage Hills a stable and effective choice for families seeking consistent results above both district and state averages.
