HERITAGE ACADEMY is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the HERITAGE ACADEMY INC. school district, located in JEROME, ID with about 141 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, HERITAGE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
