Summary:

Legacy Charter Academy is the sole elementary school (grades K-8) in the Legacy Charter Academy district, which is ranked 485 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 725 students, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% and consistently low academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels compared to state averages.

The school's test scores on the M-Step and PSAT assessments are below the state averages, suggesting that the academic achievement of students at Legacy Charter Academy is lagging behind their peers statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (98.21%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and significant economic challenges faced by the student population at Legacy Charter Academy suggests the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address the school's shortcomings and better support the success of its students. The school's relatively low district ranking and 1-star rating, coupled with the high spending per student, may also indicate issues with how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning.
