The gruesome discovery comes after drugs gangs threatened to attack elementary school teachers if they did not pay half their wages to the drugs cartels.
The extortion demands forced around 130 schools in the city to close earlier this month, after administrators and parents decided it was not safe enough to start classes.
The heads were found on Tuesday inside a sack that had been placed inside a small wooden crate, the Guerrero state public security secretariat said.
Police say the five heads were positioned next to a handwritten message threatening three alleged drug traffickers and Guerrero State Governor Angel Aguirre, who had promised a series of measures to combat the criminal gangs.
The message, in an apparently sarcastic tone, told people to thank the governor for continuing 'this war'.
The heads all appear to be of men. But some of the five headless bodies found elsewhere in the city the previous day were too badly burned to immediately determine their gender.
The horrific discovery comes just days after police found a woman's decapitated body in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.
Late last month, as the new school year began, dozens of teachers in Acapulco said drugs gangs had threatened them with violence if they did not hand over half their salaries from October 1.
Administrators and other personnel also refused to go to work and many schools were left empty and padlocked for two weeks.
They and colleagues have since been on strike, leading to the closure of more than 100 schools. Earlier this month, they took to the streets to protest at the situation.
Guerrero State Governor Aguirre has promised a series of measures, including increased police patrols and the installation of security cameras and panic buttons in schools.
But teachers say they still fear for their own and pupils' safety.

Nothing like the allure and charm of a Libertarian State -- let's see if the WingNuts will move there and make it work like they claim it will.
I nominate the Kochs, Waltons, Cantor and his/her Masters.

With at least 60% of cartel revenue coming from marijuana... With the fact that these cartels could have never formed under the same capacity if drugs were legal... Knowing our conflicting positions on drugs in general....
This is absolutely the fault of the U.S.... We created this monster, even if we did everything to fix it by legalizing things, thus ending the high price, and that source of revenue.... We'd still have a war on our hands with literally psychotically violent millionaires, and I think one of the cartel leaders is a billionaire at this point....
This shit is an atrocity... And no amount of prohibiting which just raises the price is going to help a damn thing...

Of the 60% of revenue coming to the cartels from the wicked weed I have no clue. That Mexico has a big time problem there, and that we're responsible for it I couldn't agree more. In the 60's and again recently in CA pot smokers have combated the idiocy of the prohibition and have been shot down both times. Will legalizing or at least de-criminalizing pot make the cartels go away? no. But that's not to say it isn't what we should do. WWII wasn't won on Omaha beach. You gotta start somewhere. Or somewhen.
The reasoning behind California's recent failure eludes me. I was in full support of that initiative and can only conclude it failed because of stupidity. A heartfelt belief in lies. A suppression of examination and a denial of the truth. It's like a cat trying to bury his business on the sidewalk. I'm proud to be an American but never realized what a large percentage of us are brain dead. When the cartels bring their violence across the border in force a call for help will be wasted on me. Let those that want to keep it illegal fight it.
