Summary

Heritage Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 485 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Southside Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 561 out of 961 districts in the state.

Heritage Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Texas elementary schools in recent years, with strong academic performance on STAAR tests that exceeds the district and state averages. The school particularly excels in supporting Hispanic students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top 20% and top 15% of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups, respectively.
