Summary

Legacy Elementary School in Madison, AL, serves 594 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Madison County school district, which ranks 34th out of 139 districts in Alabama.

Legacy is a consistently high-performing school, maintaining a 4-star rating for nearly all recent years and ranking 79th out of 686 Alabama elementary schools (88th percentile) in the most recent school year. One of its most impressive strengths is literacy: 4th grade English proficiency reached 83.33% in 2025-2026, which is 18 points above the district average and nearly 24 points above the state average. The school also excels at getting students to class—only 6.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024-2025, less than half the district rate of 14.3% and well below the state's 12%. This strong attendance culture likely contributes to academic success. Legacy also performs admirably with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 80th percentile for this group, and shows exceptional results with African American students, ranking 24th out of 429 schools statewide (94th percentile) in 2025-2026.

When compared to nearby schools, Legacy holds its own against even the top performers. It ranks competitively with Heritage Elementary School and MidTown Elementary School in the higher-ranked Madison City district, despite being in a lower-ranked district. However, there are areas to watch. Math proficiency shows volatility across grade levels—5th grade math dropped to 47.66% in 2025-2026, below the district average, while 3rd grade math soared to 73.4%. This inconsistency contrasts with Monrovia Elementary School, just 1.76 miles away, which shows stronger 5th grade math (64.58%) and more consistent improvement. Legacy also spends less per student ($8,196) than most comparable schools, making it an efficient choice. The school's main challenge appears to be support for special education students, where performance has declined in recent years. Overall, Legacy offers strong academics, excellent attendance, and impressive results for diverse learners—all at a competitive cost.

Very disappointed in this school Close Quote

Tuesday, March 17, 2015

The school has many innovative programs and extracurricular activities. Parent involvement is high, and the teachers engage well with the students. I highly recommend the school. My daughter loves it and is sorry she'll be leaving it for middle school next year. Close Quote
