It has a controversial history related to its founding during the period of public school desegregation. HistoryIn 1970, the school received a tax-exemption based on its non-discriminatory policy.[3]{{refpage|1997}} Before opening, the school ran newspaper advertisements informing the community of its non-discriminatory policy, but school leaders conceded that they did not expect any black applicants. The head of the local NAACP charged that the school only made the non-discriminatory pledge so it could retain its tax deduction while knowing no blacks would enroll due to the high tuition.[4] The IRS decision to grant tax exempt status to the school was investigated by Senate Select Committee on Equal Education Opportunity. Senator Walter Mondale asked IRS commissioner Randolph W. Thrower to explain why the school had been granted tax exempt status in light of reports the school's headmaster told an undercover NAACP investigator that "no black applicants were expected" but the investigator's children could apply if they "had $750 in their ass pocket."[5][3]{{refpage|2021}}[6][7] When the school opened in 1970, it was not accredited.[8] DemographicsThe demographic breakdown of the 414 K-12 students enrolled for 2015-16 was:
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) does not compile demographic information for Pre-K students. In comparison, the City of Newnan had a white population of 58.9% on the 2010 census.[9] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Welcome from The Head |url=https://www.heritageschool.com/page/about-us/welcome-from-the-head |website=The Heritage School |accessdate=9 February 2019}} 2. ^{{Cite web| url= https://www.nais.org/school/the-heritage-school/fef9485c-32f9-e111-8924-00505683000d/| title =National Association of Independent Schools|last=|first=|date=|archive-url=|archive-date=| dead-url= |access-date=}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Select Committee on Equal Educational Opportunity |title=Equal Educational Opportunity: Hearings Before the Select Committee on Equal Educational Opportunity, Ninety-first Congress, Second Session-92nd Congress, First Session| volume = 10 |date=1970| publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office| url= https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951d017860197;view=1up;seq=110| accessdate=14 January 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news| first = Kenneth| last = Reich| page = 8E | title= No-Bias School Gets No Black Applications | date = August 8, 1970 | newspaper = Los Angeles Times | url = https://www.newspapers.com/image/386306281}} 5. ^Letter from Bob Vader, NAACP, to Senator Walter Mondale; August 7, 1970; [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015039890671;view=1up;seq=273 Published in the Congressional Record] 6. ^{{cite news| url = https://www.newspapers.com/image/377147044| title = IRS is attacked on 'academies' — Mondale says exemptions are based on 'hoax' | first = Adam| last= Clymber| page = 1 |newspaper = The Baltimore Sun| date = August 13, 1970}} 7. ^{{cite news| first = Kenneth| last = Reich| page = 4H | title= Administration Deceit Charge in Integration | date = March 28, 1971 | newspaper = Los Angeles Times | url = https://www.newspapers.com/image/384804994}} 8. ^{{cite news| date = August 6, 1970 | title = Private school issues no-bias policy| page = 11b | first = Mike |last = Bowler | newspaper = Atlanta Journal Constitution |url = https://www.newspapers.com/image/398710308/}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?src=CF|title=American FactFinder - Results|first=U.
