Summary

Legacy Peak Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 652 students as part of Academy School District No. 20, one of Colorado's top-ranked districts. While the school sits comfortably above state averages in English Language Arts (48.8% proficient vs. 44.7% statewide) and Math (40.3% vs. 37.3%), it trails its own district by roughly 13–14 percentage points in both subjects. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 410th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools—a middle-of-the-pack position that becomes more striking given the high-performing schools surrounding it.

The most pressing academic concern is 5th grade math, where only 30.5% of students are proficient—a 23-point gap behind the district average and nearly 9 points below the state. Chronic absenteeism is also elevated, with 22.8% of students missing enough school to affect learning, compared to 19.7% districtwide. The school's student population is changing rapidly: the percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch has more than doubled in two years, from 10.6% in 2022-2023 to 23.5% in 2024-2025, and economically disadvantaged students currently rank in the 23rd percentile statewide.

Families considering Legacy Peak will want to compare it with nearby options. Within the same district, Chinook Trail Elementary School (89th percentile), Explorer Elementary School (91st), and Ranch Creek Elementary (84th) all achieve 20+ points higher in both ELA and Math. Even schools in less highly ranked districts outperform Legacy Peak: Scott Elementary School, Freedom Elementary School, and Ridgeview Elementary School all serve higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students yet post stronger test scores. On a positive note, Legacy Peak showed meaningful improvement in 2025-2026, with its rank rising from the 48th to 57th percentile and both ELA and Math proficiency up roughly 5 points, suggesting recent strategies may be gaining traction.
