Legacy Traditional School - Glendale

The area’s list includes one K–8 school, Legacy Traditional School – Glendale, in the Legacy Traditional School - Glendale district, serving 1,280 students. The school’s 2025–26 results are above Arizona’s proficiency rates in both all-grades subjects: 63% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 41% statewide, and 49% in math, compared with 33%. In science, it also exceeds the state in both tested grades: 46% versus 34% in grade 5 and 61% versus 30% in grade 8. The most important finding is that the school performs above the state in every reported subject and grade.

There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this one-school list, so grade results offer the more useful comparison. The strongest reported results are 7th-grade ELA at 72% and 8th-grade math at 63%; the lowest are 3rd- and 5th-grade ELA, each at 53%, and 6th-grade math at 38%. All are above their matching state results. The margins vary: 7th-grade ELA is 29 points above the state, while 8th-grade math leads by 33 points. By contrast, 5th-grade math is 43% proficient, just 5 points above the state’s 38%. This variation is worth noting alongside the school’s strong overall results, especially for families considering the grade their child will enter.

SchoolDigger’s ranking has improved in recent years: the school moved from 288th of 912 schools and the 68th percentile in 2023–24 to 246th of 900 and the 73rd percentile in 2025–26; its rating rose from 3 stars to 4 stars. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 24.1, and its free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported. These details describe the school but do not establish what drives its results. Test scores are available for only one year, so the ranking history does not show whether achievement itself is improving or whether the school’s gap with the state is changing.
