Heritage Academy,

32 S Center St, Mesa, AZ 85210, United States

"Unless you have a picture perfect, model scholar, this is not the school for your child. The school's system is set up for only their ideal student, and any student that does not fit that mold will either struggle, fail or get pushed out. The school claims they want parents to be more empowered with their scholars, but they have a poorly designed system that leaves parents feeling helpless and unable to help their own scholars to succeed. Do not expect any reasonable accomodations for your student. Unless your student has a 504 plan where the school is legally forced to make exceptions or accommodations, many teachers and the administration will not consider what is best for the individual student. One of my three children was struggling, and as a result was depressed and made a suicidal comment in class. Instead of addressing the matter as a serious issue, my child was punished and had a "log entry" placed on his record. If I had known what I know now about this school prior to enrolling my kids, they would not have been placed there. There are some very good teachers, but unfortunately those good teachers are not able to make up the difference for the shortcomings of this school."

"I have been at Heritage Academy for quite some time and the teachers really care about the students and their learning environment. Heritage is a great school especially for gifted learners and provides a great variety of electives. They are not bias to anyone and they love all their scholars equally."

"People learn so much at Heritage, and it is where great values and friendships are forged. I have not seen any racism at Heritage, and there is no bullying either. I also love the patriotism students learn about. For those concerned about there being too many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who most people know as Mormons, only around half of the students are members. There is room for both members and non-members at Heritage. This is an amazing school, and I would highly recommend it."

"Any review less than five stars here is complaining because their kid either didn’t measure up or screwed up. Heritage Academy is a solid school with great values and consistent follow through to uphold them. Dr. Moore is a fantastic principal! He and his staff deserve a lot more positive feedback than they’re given here in some of the low star reviews. Keep up the good work and know that there are many parents that see the great work you’re doing."

"I have attended Heritage for six years and have absolutely loved every single moment. Everything from the wide selection of extracurricular activities to the expansion to three campuses to a fantastic senior year, it all has been wonderful. This school is like no other, and I believe everyone should come here. Exceptional staff, positive and safe environment, amazing students, and a small class size. I have gotten to know my friends so well over the years due to Heritage having a smaller student population as opposed to other high schools. I highly recommend this school to any parent seeking better education for their children or for anyone looking for the right education on the proper role and principles behind good government. I love it, and you will too!"
