School Overview

KIPP Heritage Academy sits in the heart of San Jose's Franklin-McKinley neighborhood, a working-class community in the city's east side where families are deeply invested in finding schools that go the extra mile. As a KIPP charter middle school, it brings a structured, college-prep mindset to grades 5–8, with strong English and science scores that consistently outpace most schools in the state. Families who want a mission-driven environment with high expectations and a tight-knit community — and who don't mind the longer school day that KIPP schools are known for — tend to thrive here.
