Summary

Legacy Traditional - Basse Pri is a small elementary charter school in San Antonio, TX, serving 250 students in grades PK-5, with over 75% of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. This school has experienced a remarkable turnaround in the 2025-2026 school year, jumping from the 3rd percentile to the 51st percentile in state rankings—a 48-point leap that is unmatched by any nearby school, such as Neal Elementary, which saw only modest gains. This dramatic improvement has propelled Legacy Traditional ahead of its closest rival, Neal Elementary, for the first time in recent history, making it a standout option in the area.

The school shows a clear strength in Reading, with proficiency rates (54% to 61% across grades 3-5) competitive with state averages, but Mathematics remains a persistent weakness, with rates (35% to 39%) lagging 8 to 14 points behind. Science is a critical concern, as only 9.68% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, far below the state average. Notably, the school excels with its African American student subgroup, ranking in the 92nd percentile, but struggles with its largest demographic, Hispanic students, who rank in the 18th percentile. This uneven performance suggests the turnaround has not benefited all groups equally.

Legacy Traditional spends significantly more per student ($16,994 in 2020-2021) than nearby schools like Neal Elementary ($9,775 to $11,922), yet this high spending did not prevent years of poor performance prior to 2025-2026. The school is part of the Legacy Traditional Schools - Texas district, and its recent surge raises questions about what specific changes—such as new leadership or curriculum overhauls—drove this "phoenix effect." For parents, this school offers a compelling story of improvement, but the math and science gaps, along with uneven subgroup results, warrant careful consideration.

Open Quote I worked for this school for about 1 month and I must say that it is the most unorganized dysfunctional school I have ever seen in my life. The administrative staff there are all incompetent. I came in thinking that this school and district was one of quality, but I wouldn't send my dog there to learn how to pee outside. Most of the staff are not certified or qualified to teach in a classroom. These teachers would not be able to teach in one of San Antonio's public schools. Most of the students there belong in alternative school, but come to find out that Kelley is a feeder school for problem children. I had a child in my class who I was positive was dyslexic, but has not been classified and was already in 3rd grade! If I was a parent I would not take a chance in sending my child to any School of Excellence. The name is extremely deceiving. Close Quote
