Summary:
This area list contains one K–8 school, Legacy Traditional School – Laveen Village, serving Laveen Village and enrolling 988 students. The clearest broad concern is math: all-grades proficiency was 18%, compared with 33% statewide, a 15-point gap; the grades 3–5 average was also 15 points below the state average.
With only one school in the list, there are no school-to-school leaders or comparisons; the clearest standouts are differences by grade and subject. Eighth-grade science was a relative strength at 31%, just above the 30% state result, while fifth-grade science was 16% compared with 34% statewide. The sharpest reported shortfall was fourth-grade math: 15% proficient versus 40% statewide, 25 points lower. ELA was below state results in every reported grade, with proficiency ranging from 26% in grade 6 to 37% in grade 4; the state results for those grades were 41% and 47%, respectively.
SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved over the three reported years: 755 of 912 schools and the 17th percentile in 2023–24, 734 of 909 and the 19th percentile in 2024–25, then 688 of 900 and the 24th percentile in 2025–26. That is a stronger relative ranking, but the figures do not show that proficiency scores rose. The reported student–teacher ratio is 58.1, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is provided. The school’s math results for grades 6–8 are suppressed, and the single-school list cannot show how it compares with peer schools.
