Summary

Legacy Online Academy is a public charter virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Chandler, Arizona, with 327 students. The school is part of the Legacy Traditional School - Surprise district, which is ranked 137 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located near several high-performing traditional public schools, such as Weinberg Gifted Academy and John & Carol Carlson Elementary, Legacy Online Academy consistently underperforms on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects, with only 27% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 47% at the nearby Legacy Traditional School - Chandler and 36% statewide. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 2.4% to 12.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby traditional public schools.

While Legacy Online Academy performs exceptionally well for students in special education, ranking 18th out of 820 Arizona elementary schools in this category, the school struggles with other subgroups, such as White students, who ranked in the bottom 5% of Arizona elementary schools in 2022-2023. The wide range in performance across different student subgroups suggests that the virtual nature of the school may be a significant factor in its underperformance, particularly for younger learners.
