Summary

Heritage Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 608 students at 1250 Swan Rd in De Pere, Wisconsin, part of the De Pere School District, which ranks 25th of 432 Wisconsin districts (94th percentile, 5 stars). Heritage itself is a consistent top-decile school: 90th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, and between the 90th and 94th percentile in each of the four prior years.

Attendance is Heritage's standout strength. In 2024–2025, only 1.1% of students were chronically absent, compared with 6.6% in the district and 17.3% statewide — the lowest rate among nearby schools and well below Susie C Altmayer Elementary (2.9%), Dickinson Elementary (3.1%), and Hemlock Creek Elementary (3.1%). Test scores are strong too: 2025–2026 proficiency beat state averages in every subject and grade — for example, 81.42% in 3rd grade math and 82.14% in 4th grade social studies. Compared with the district, Heritage is slightly ahead in 3rd grade reading and math but slightly behind in 4th grade reading, math, social studies, and science, making it a very strong school inside an even stronger district. It clearly outpaces Westwood Elementary and nearby schools in the Green Bay Area Public School District, where poverty and absenteeism are much higher.

Heritage achieves these results with relatively modest resources: $12,285 per student and a 15.6 student-teacher ratio — lower spending and larger classes than several nearby high performers. About 13.82% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch. Worth watching: the 2025–2026 overall ranking slipped slightly, and school-effectiveness rankings for some student groups dipped, including low-income students (from 89th to 51st percentile since 2023–2024), while special education effectiveness improved from 42nd to 64th.

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
