Summary

Legacy Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, is a K-4 school serving 560 students within the Bossier Parish district, and it consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2014 and currently placing 24th out of 690 elementary schools in Louisiana.

Legacy’s academic performance is exceptional and remarkably stable, with 91% of students proficient in Math and 88% in ELA for the 2025-2026 school year—this is 25 to 30 percentage points higher than nearby Apollo Elementary School and over 50 points higher than schools like Plantation Park Elementary School or Meadowview Elementary School. Legacy is part of a cluster of three elite, 5-star schools in northern Bossier City, alongside Stockwell Place Elementary (ranked 23rd) and Kingston Elementary (ranked 29th), all with 90%+ proficiency in core subjects. This creates a high-achieving educational corridor, with Benton Elementary and W.T. Lewis Elementary also performing strongly nearby. Legacy also stands out for its exceptional support of Hispanic students, ranking 3rd in the entire state for their performance, and it ranks in the 95th percentile for low socio-economic status students, showing the school effectively closes achievement gaps.

While Legacy excels in nearly every category, there are two areas to watch. The school’s chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 14.2% in 2022-2023 to 21.6% in 2024-2025, approaching the state average of 22.5%, though it remains better than the district average of 27.9% and far below Plantation Park Elementary’s 40% rate. Additionally, Legacy’s ranking for Special Education students dropped from the 99th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 86th percentile in 2025-2026—still above average but a notable decline for a school otherwise in the 95th+ percentile for all other subgroups. Overall, Legacy is an island of excellence within the Bossier Parish district, which ranks 37th out of 116 in Louisiana, and it stands in stark contrast to schools in the neighboring Caddo Parish district, such as North Highlands Elementary and Cherokee Park Elementary, which serve populations with higher economic needs and perform significantly lower.
