The school is part of the De Pere School District, which is ranked 17th out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Heritage Elementary has consistently maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in the state.

Heritage Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 75.96% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 80.74% for the De Pere School District and 52.14% for the state of Wisconsin. The school also has strong performance across different student subgroups, with low chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a population with a higher socioeconomic status compared to some nearby schools.

When comparing Heritage Elementary to other schools in the same district, such as Susie C Altmayer Elementary and Dickinson Elementary, it is evident that Heritage maintains a strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in most subjects and grade levels. However, the school's special education students have lower proficiency rates compared to the general student population, which is an area the school may want to focus on to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

Open Quote I have had the worst experience with this school! They did not involve me in anything that was going on at the school with my child. I still have not met the principal and have tried to set up several meetings with her. This is the most unproffesional school I have ever had to deal with. Close Quote
