8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThrough our family’s journey at Heath, I was astonished about how much our children have grown. During Covid, the teacher engagement and overall quality wasn't as high as during in-person learning, but besides that Heath school has been an amazing opportunity for my children. We also had a teacher that missed most of the year, but the administration handled it wellParent Review2y ago - John D Runkle School
