Heritage Intermediate School

I give this school a five out of five. My son transferred during the middle of the school year due to house purchase. He was anxious about his first day of school. The teachers and students welcomed him and he felt good about being there. The curriculum was on target. Good school for a nice community.

The school curriculum is alright, the food is lackluster, and most teachers there do very well at their job but there was this one time they lost my permission slip (as of many others) and the worst part was that they didn't even bother to refund the money ($40) which shows how irresponsible the school is.

This school is a great environment to learn in, they also have the best cafeteria food compared to other schools I've been to.

Heritage Intermediate School has large classes of about 39. That does not leave much opportunity for creative lessons in the classroom. Gifted and Talented students class placement is determined by math scores and there is little differentiated instruction for student needs. Sports and choir were cut years ago and have not returned. Three of our children have gone happily through East Heritage Elementary and Etiwanda. However, Heritage Intermediate is a weak link between the two schools. There are excellent teachers but class size reduction and a new principal would improve the school. After all-it is only an 8 and that ain't that great considering the community.
