Summary

Legacy Peak Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 640 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Academy School District No. 20, which is ranked 13 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While the school district and nearby schools generally perform well, Legacy Peak Elementary has faced some challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and Math were 42.7% and 35.8%, respectively, compared to the district's 61.1% and 51.9%, and the state's 44.8% and 35.9%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.0% to 27.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Academy School District No. 20, Legacy Peak Elementary consistently underperforms in academic achievement, particularly in CMAS English Language Arts and Math. For instance, the nearby Chinook Trail Elementary School had significantly higher proficiency rates in these subjects during the 2024-2025 school year. The school's leadership and the district should explore strategies to address these challenges and improve the academic performance and attendance of all students at Legacy Peak Elementary.
