Legacy High

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Legacy High is a small public high school located in Ojai, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 49 students. The school is part of the Ojai Unified School District, which is ranked 895 out of 1,565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Legacy High has consistently struggled to perform at a high level, ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools over the past decade. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 54.55% and 23.66% for the Ojai Unified district, respectively. Additionally, Legacy High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.5% to 70% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Nordhoff High and Carpinteria Senior High, Legacy High consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the challenges faced by Legacy High are not solely due to its small size or rural location, but rather a more systemic issue that requires targeted interventions and support to improve the educational experience for its students.
