Heritage Elementary School

I am on this website researching schools because we are relocating to another state. My child has attended McA for 4 years and I am heartbroken he will not get to attend the last 2 at this school. It is like a family - teachers and staff are committed to help the kids learn to be good people and give them skills for life, not only academics. We will miss this school family terribly.

Our autistic child has been bullied at this school since the first day they started there. We have visited the school numerous times with resistance at first but with added pressures they reluctantly helped us. After another incident involving my second child being bullied by older children for defending his special needs brother. The administration sided with the bully and simply brushed the assault that led to my autistic child protecting his little brother from an older student as if it was justified. They punished my autistic child who has stated he wanted to kill himself at school for being the aggressor, even with video that shows otherwise. They keep claiming my kids said something unruly but the video has no audio and they are going on the word of 8-10 year olds. This issue was brought up to the district but like the school they ignored the real issue and deflected to another issue keeping their deficiencies from being mentioned. This is unacceptable and honestly deplorable treatment of a special needs child.

I don't recommend it to anyone if I was asked. The principal and the vb lie to turn facts around. They use their authority the worst way they can. The last thing they think about is children.

Súper buena, orgullosa de tener a mi hija allí

Our child has had nothing but loving caring teachers that adjust to our specific needs. We have had a lot of learning opportunities with our child and ourselves. The school has an incredible amount of opportunities to be involved as a parent and activities to have your child show off their love for the school, teachers, and friends. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Concerning behavior from the owners to include, using terms such as, "Ripping" things from toddlers' hands instead of using redirect methods, limited knowledge other than online in childcare and Montessori as they have a digital arts degree. Staff functions in fear of owners, doesn't want children in their care and when viewing cameras, you will find things they did not such as your child being repeatedly hit, shoved or bite. Unfortunately, their pool of former students due to the above is concerning.
