Summary

Heritage School is a public elementary school in Saint George, Utah, serving 526 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in the Washington District. The school ranks 238th of 563 Utah elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 58th percentile with a three-star rating. It is a solid, middle-performing school in a community with a wide range of nearby academic results.

Heritage’s strongest results are in third and fourth grades. In 2025–2026, students exceeded district and state proficiency rates in third- and fourth-grade English language arts and mathematics, with fourth-grade math standing out at 67.2%. However, performance drops sharply in fifth grade: ELA proficiency falls from 59.0% in fourth grade to 33.8%, while math falls from 67.2% to 37.2%. Fifth-grade science is also below district and state levels. This repeated upper-grade pattern suggests that families may want to ask about fifth-grade instruction, curriculum transitions, student attendance, and support for students moving toward middle school. The school’s recent low socioeconomic status subgroup ranking—22nd of 139 schools, in the 84th percentile—is a notable strength.

Compared with nearby schools, Heritage sits between higher-performing schools such as Crimson View School, Little Valley School, Bloomington School, and Riverside School, and lower-ranked Panorama School, Sandstone School, and Legacy School. Heritage also serves a more economically diverse student population than most of its highest-ranked neighbors. Chronic absenteeism improved to 23.5% in 2024–2025 but remained above the district’s 15.4%, making attendance another important area to monitor.

What people are saying

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
