Summary

Legacy Middle in San Antonio, TX, serves 1,143 students in grades 6-8 within the East Central Independent School District (Isd), with nearly 79% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school has historically ranked in the bottom 15% of Texas middle schools, but it shows a slow, positive trajectory, improving from the 7th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 14th percentile in the most recent data. While overall academic performance remains below state averages, there are notable bright spots and areas of concern that set it apart from nearby schools.

The most striking differentiator is Legacy Middle’s exceptional performance in Biology, where 77.11% of students were proficient in the latest year—significantly higher than the state average of 70.51% and a consistent trend over the past three years. This success stands in stark contrast to its math scores, which are critically low: only about 16% of 6th and 8th graders are proficient, less than half the state average. Compared to its district peer, East Central Heritage Middle, Legacy underperforms in most subjects but outperforms in Biology. Additionally, Legacy’s Multi-racial student population is a bright spot, ranking in the 57th percentile statewide, a significant improvement from previous years. However, the school struggles to serve its Special Education students, who ranked in the 4th percentile, indicating a critical need for targeted support.

Despite academic challenges, Legacy Middle has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.2%, which is better than the district average of 2.2% and comparable to many nearby schools. This suggests the school is effective at keeping students engaged. Interestingly, Legacy spends less per student ($8,600) than many nearby schools, such as Harlandale Middle ($10,834) and Davis Middle ($12,091), which may be a factor in its overall performance. For parents, Legacy Middle offers a mixed picture: a school with a clear strength in science and a commitment to keeping students in school, but with significant work needed in math and support for special education students.

Open Quote I went to legacy for 3 years before I went to east central. I think the teachers and staff are wonderful the counslers are easy to talk to, the teacher explain problems to were the whole class can understand. They get you ready for the TAKS from day one showing you ways to help you get threw some problems the kids the year before had problems with. The teachers give you one on one time so the point really sinks in to you. In my opinion I think legacy middle school is the best school in San Antonio but the east central distract is the best trust me. Close Quote
