Summary:
Heritage Middle School is a public middle school located in Chino Valley, Arizona, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 536 students. The school is part of the Chino Valley Unified District, which is ranked 296 out of 540 districts in Arizona and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Heritage Middle School has a higher percentage of White students (63.43%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 18% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 27%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, White, and Special Education students performing poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona middle schools.
Despite these challenges, Heritage Middle School has maintained a relatively low dropout rate, ranging from 0.0% to 0.6% over the past several years, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's per-student spending has decreased from $8,076 in 2018-2019 to $5,402 in 2021-2022, which may be contributing to the overall decline in academic performance and the need to support students from low-income families, whose percentage has increased significantly from 32.02% in 2021-2022 to 53.73% in 2022-2023. Nearby schools, such as Bradshaw Mountain Middle School and Prescott Mile High Middle School, have higher academic achievement and better overall rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Heritage Middle School to learn from their best practices.
