Summary

Legacy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Frederick, Colorado, serving 442 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 27th out of 115 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Legacy Elementary has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 34.16% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the district average of 27.42%, the school's performance is concerning. Legacy Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.1% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts and CMAS/Math for all grades at 42.3% and 41.1%, respectively, compared to the district's 50.9% and 45.4%, and the state's 44.8% and 35.9%.

When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Highlands Elementary and Soaring Heights Pk-8, Legacy Elementary performs significantly lower on various metrics, including test scores with proficiency rates in the 60-70% range. The school's rankings for female, male, and white student subgroups are also in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with the white student subgroup ranking in the bottom 10% in recent years. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and supporting students from low-income families could be crucial in improving Legacy Elementary's overall outcomes.
