Summary:
Legacy Traditional School - East Mesa is the only school in this area, serving 1,066 students in kindergarten through grade 8. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed by subject: all-grades ELA is 46% proficient, compared with 41% statewide, while math is 27%, compared with 33% statewide. The clearest overall takeaway is that ELA and science are strengths, but math—especially in grade 4—is a concern.
There are no other area schools to rank against it, but the school’s strongest results are in science and some ELA grades, while its weakest are in math. In science, results from 2024–2025 were above Arizona’s in both tested grades: 41% versus 34% in grade 5 and 39% versus 30% in grade 8. ELA also stands out in grade 3, at 51% versus 39% statewide, and grade 5, at 48% versus 38%. Math is below the state in every reported grade from 3 through 7; the largest gap is in grade 4, where 26% met the standard versus 40% statewide, a 14-point shortfall. The grade 3–8 ELA average is 45% versus 41% statewide, while the grade 3–7 math average is 28% versus 35%.
SchoolDigger rates the school at 2 stars and places it in the 48th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, a slight rise from the 47th percentile the year before but 3 points below its 51st percentile in 2023–2024; this ranking history does not show whether test scores themselves rose or fell. Within the grades, ELA is above the state in grades 3, 5, 6 and 8, matches it in grade 4, and trails it by 5 points in grade 7. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 18.3, and no free/reduced-lunch rate is provided. Because this is the area’s only school, there are no school-to-school comparisons for results or context.
