State report card

Alabama grades every public school from A to F each year. For an elementary school the 100-point score is built from students’ achievement and growth on state tests in English language arts and math, chronic absenteeism (the share of students who missed 18 or more days) and progress in English language proficiency, according to the Alabama State Department of Education’s report card rules.

2024-25 grade: A, 99 points. The 2023-24 card also gave Heritage an A with 99 points.

Indicator 2024-25 score
Academic achievement (ELA and math tests) 100
Academic growth 100
Chronic absenteeism (lower is better) 4.32% of students

The 2024-25 card shows no English language proficiency score for Heritage. The full report card is on the state’s report card site.
