Mathematics is Heritage’s clearest strength. Students averaged approximately 74.1% proficiency in math across grades 3–6, compared with about 61.5% in Cache District and 42.0% statewide. Sixth-grade math was especially notable, at 74.4%, versus 52.6% districtwide and 37.4% statewide.

English language arts averaged approximately 62.4%, above district and state averages, although fifth-grade ELA was weaker at 52.2%. Among nearby schools, Heritage generally outperformed Nibley School, Millville School, Providence School, River Heights School, Canyon School, and Lincoln School. Thomas Edison - South ranked higher overall and had stronger ELA results, but Heritage compared favorably in sixth-grade math and science.
Attendance is another positive: chronic absenteeism fell to 14.3% in 2024–2025, below both the district and Utah rates and lower than most nearby comparison schools. The main areas to monitor are fifth-grade ELA, where proficiency declined from 68.4% two years earlier, and staffing capacity. Heritage’s student-teacher ratio was 22.8-to-1, somewhat higher than several nearby schools, and its enrollment is relatively large. Overall, Heritage stands out as one of the strongest traditional public elementary schools in the Nibley–Cache Valley area, particularly for mathematics, science, and sixth-grade achievement.
