While Legacy Online Academy has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 42.39% Hispanic, 12.77% African American, and 7.88% Asian students, its academic performance lags behind traditional public schools in the area. For example, in 2022-2023, only 29% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 46% at Legacy Traditional School - Chandler and 34% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across student subgroups, ranking highly for special education students but much lower for White and multi-racial students.
Additionally, Legacy Online Academy has a relatively high dropout rate of 12.0%, compared to 8.2% at the nearby Legacy Traditional School - Chandler. This suggests the virtual learning model may not be working well for all students, despite the potential advantages of flexibility and personalized learning. To improve, the school may need to implement targeted interventions, provide additional support for diverse learners, and closely examine its virtual learning approach to better meet the needs of all students.
