Summary

Legacy Traditional School - Mesa serves 456 students in kindergarten through sixth grade in Mesa, Arizona. In 2025–26, 47% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 37% in math, compared with state rates of 41% and 33%. The school is above Arizona’s overall results in both subjects, but the most important takeaway is that it trails the average of nearby elementary schools—especially in math.

Compared with seven nearby PK–6 schools reporting all-grade scores, Legacy’s ELA proficiency was 47% versus their average of 54%, and its math proficiency was 37% versus 53%. It also scored above the separate local reference, Mesa Unified District, at 39% in ELA and 31% in math; the supplied figures for the school’s listed district, Legacy Traditional School - Mesa, match the school’s own results. Fourth-grade ELA is a bright spot at 58%, 11 points above the state rate. Sixth-grade ELA is weaker locally: 41%, compared with an average of 62% at nearby schools reporting results. Math proficiency also falls short of nearby same-grade averages in third, fourth and fifth grades.

Grade-5 science has declined: proficiency fell from 53% in 2022–23 to 50% the next year and 37% in 2024–25, while the state rate stayed at 34%; the latest result was below the nearby-school average of 48%. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 55th percentile statewide, with 3 stars, up 4 percentile points from 2021–22 but 16 below its 2022–23 peak; six of eight nearby schools with current rankings are higher. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also point to uneven standing: the Male Students percentile fell from 78 in 2022–23 to 40 in 2025–26, below the school’s overall 55th percentile. Enrollment is below the nearby-school median of 524, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.5, slightly above the nearby-school average of 16.9. The reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 38% in 2022–23. Sixth-grade math was suppressed and cannot be compared.
