As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote When Legacy first opened it was everything we wanted. Small class sizes, back to school basic teaching etc.... over the past year and a half that has changed significantly. The classes are almost maxed out with 30-34 students (the school in general is maxed out at being as big as a HS) Specials teachers share a room and have to push a cart into classes) The kids get about 10 min to eat lunch if that. By the time they get in the cafeteria there are so many kids per grade level it takes forever to get through the lunch line. At recess the little kids are supposed to be on one side and bigger kids to the other, they end up mixing and the littles get pushed around or hear inappropriate things. I personally like being a part of a PTA so I know where raised money is going. Legacy has a PVO and it is not shared with families where or how much money there is. We were told each grade level would get 1 paid field trip per year, but twice my kids have either have had a field trip at the school or we had to pay for it. You get a feel that many students and parents feel entitled about going to Legacy, the parents pages are filled with many issues about, bullying ,theft, kids who should have been kicked out still there years later (so much for their zero tolerance policy) parents in general being rude to each other in driveline etc....

The one great thing about Legacy are the teachers. They have some gems there. but if you try to get out of your contract they want $5000 RED FLAG Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
