Legacy Traditional School - North Phoenix

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

Legacy Traditional School - North Phoenix is a public charter elementary school serving 521 students in grades K-8 in the northwest part of Phoenix, Arizona. The school is part of the Legacy Traditional School district and is located near several other public elementary schools in the Pendergast Elementary District and Tolleson Elementary District.

While Legacy Traditional School - North Phoenix offers a traditional educational approach, the school appears to be underperforming compared to the state and nearby public schools, particularly in math and science proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 11% of 8th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 27%. The school also lags behind the state in science proficiency for 8th graders. When compared to the nearby Garden Lakes Elementary School, Desert Horizon Elementary School, and other public schools in the area, Legacy Traditional School - North Phoenix generally underperforms on test scores, especially in math.

One potential factor contributing to the school's academic challenges may be the increasing proportion of economically disadvantaged students it serves. The school has seen a significant rise in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 20.59% in 2021-2022 to 52.71% in 2022-2023. This suggests the school is serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families, which could impact academic performance. Continued monitoring of the school's progress and strategies to support its student population will be important going forward.
