Heritage Elementary School
My children were at Heritage for part of the year. I pulled my children out because I didn't feel my children were up to speed with their peer in other schools. I was right. I placed my children in a school with a better test rating, my children were so far behind I cried. My children are doing great now. However, it has been an up-hill battle this year to get them on grade level. I'm proud to say, my children are both above grade level now thanks to their new school.
