Heritage School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Saint George, Utah, with 509 students. It is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 37 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heritage School generally performs above the district and state averages in math and science proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 2024-2025, 62% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to 48.6% statewide. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Heritage School also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 39.84% to 54.03% over the past few years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.6 to 21.3.

Compared to nearby schools, Riverside School, Bloomington School, and Bloomington Hills School, Heritage School performs similarly or better on test scores.

Overall, Heritage School appears to be performing reasonably well academically compared to the district and state, particularly for its high-needs student population, but faces challenges that provide an opportunity for improvement.

The teachers and school are good, but the current principal does not set a good mood for everyone. He is not proactive about bullying issues, parking/pick up issues, or listening to any complaints that a parent might bring up. He has a very rude attitude with parents. Close Quote

This school has a wonderful Principal who is very involved with the day to day interactions with the students. He is willing and available to every student to go to and will assist them with any problems they may be having in order to make their academic journey successful. All the teachers are caring and knowledgeable. I would recommend this school to anyone in the St. George area. Close Quote
