Summary

Legacy Prep Intermediate is a small school in Birmingham, AL, serving 219 students in grades 4-7 within the Legacy Prep district, where the vast majority of families (84%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Legacy Prep faces significant challenges, particularly in math. While 4th graders show 16% math proficiency, that number drops to just 1.79% by 7th grade—a steep decline compared to the state average of 24.46%. English scores are stronger, with 5th graders reaching 47% proficiency, though still below the state average. The school's overall ranking places it in the 13th percentile of Alabama middle schools. For context, nearby Pizitz Middle School (5.8 miles away) and Jefferson County International Baccalaureate School (5.3 miles away) both rank in the 100th percentile, with 7th grade math proficiency above 64%. However, Legacy Prep performs comparably to schools serving similar demographics, like Green Acres Middle School (1.1 miles away), which also ranks in the 13th percentile.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism. At 15.3%, Legacy Prep's rate is higher than the state average (12%) and significantly higher than peer schools like C J Donald Middle School (2.6%) and Bush Hills STEAM Academy (4.1%), despite serving similar populations. This suggests attendance is an area where improvement is possible. On a positive note, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.9:1 is better than several nearby schools, including Wilkerson Middle School (35.3:1). Female students perform better than males, and the school's relative strength in English provides a foundation to build upon as it works to address the math decline.
