Summary

Midlothian Heritage High School is a 4-star school in the highly-rated Midlothian Independent School District (Isd), serving 1,760 students in grades 9-12 with a very high graduation rate of 95.9% and an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.1%.

This school consistently outperforms the state average in core subjects like Biology, English I, and English II by significant margins (10-15 points above the state average). However, Algebra I remains a challenge, with only 53.2% of students proficient—just below the state average and well below the district average of 72.5%. The school is particularly effective for Gifted and Talented students, who recently jumped from a 2-star to a 4-star rating (86th percentile), suggesting a successful program change. While the school performs well overall, its largest area of relative weakness is serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, though this gap is much smaller than at most large comprehensive high schools in the area.

Compared to nearby schools, Heritage stands out as a strong middle ground. It consistently outperforms its district counterpart, Midlothian High School, which ranks in the 77th percentile. In the neighboring Waxahachie Independent School District (Isd), the magnet school Waxahachie Global High School ranks in the 95th percentile and dramatically outperforms Heritage, while the comprehensive Waxahachie High School ranks in the 44th percentile and significantly underperforms. This positions Heritage as a comprehensive school performing at a level closer to a magnet school. The school has seen a slight uptick from a recent low, suggesting a positive recovery trend after peaking at a 5-star rating in 2015-2016.
