Summary
Legacy Middle is a public middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 697 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Legacy Middle has consistently ranked in the middle range of Florida middle schools, typically between 600-800 out of around 1,200 schools, and has maintained a 2-star rating.
One of Legacy Middle's strengths is its performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, where it outperforms the Orange County and Florida averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Legacy Middle had 83% proficiency in EOC Algebra 1, compared to 63% for the district and 60% for the state. Similarly, the school had 100% proficiency in EOC Geometry, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Legacy Middle has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 37.9% over the past few years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools.
When comparing Legacy Middle to nearby schools in the Orange County district, it becomes evident that the school is performing better than some of its counterparts, particularly in terms of test scores. For instance, Legacy Middle outperformed Conway Middle, Corner Lake Middle, and Union Park Middle in several subject areas. However, two nearby magnet schools, Timber Springs Middle and Avalon Middle, consistently outperform Legacy Middle and other district schools in test scores and overall rankings, suggesting that the magnet school model may be contributing to higher academic achievement.
