Heritage Academy Inc.

Heritage Academy Inc. operates two high-performing high schools in Arizona: Heritage Academy Maricopa and Heritage Academy. While both schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, Heritage Academy stands out as a top-tier institution, ranking in the top 7% of high schools in Arizona and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Heritage Academy boasts an impressive 92.8% 4-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average, and its students consistently outperform their peers at Heritage Academy Maricopa and the overall Heritage Academy Inc. district on academic assessments in science, English language arts, and mathematics. In contrast, while Heritage Academy Maricopa is also a high-performing school, ranking 82nd out of 469 Arizona high schools, it falls short of the exceptional standards set by its counterpart.

The disparities between the two schools within the Heritage Academy Inc. district suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching practices, resource allocation, and student demographics, may contribute to the significant differences in academic performance and school rankings. Further investigation into the specific strategies and approaches employed at each school could provide valuable insights to help elevate the performance of all schools within the district and ensure that every student has access to a high-quality education.
