Summary

Legacy Traditional School Southwest Las Vegas is a K–8 charter school serving 1,534 students at 7077 W. Wigwam Avenue in southwest Las Vegas, part of the State Sponsored Charter Schools district. It is the largest school among its nearby peers and ranked 53rd of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 86th percentile with 4 stars, or the top ~14% statewide. Its percentile rank has stayed between 79 and 88 over the past six years, showing stable performance rather than a one-year spike.

Academically, Legacy outperforms both its district and the state in every major subject. In 2025–2026, 61.1% of students were proficient in math, 67.5% in reading, and 45.8% in science — about 10 to 12 points above its charter district and 20 to 25 points above Nevada. Upper grades are a particular strength: 8th grade posted 64.0% in math, 72.5% in reading, and 64.0% in science, and 5th grade reading reached 75.7%. The relative weak spots are 3rd grade reading (51.2%, below the charter district's 55.1%) and 5th grade science (30.4%). Nearby charters Amplus Rainbow and Doral Academy West Pebble rank slightly higher overall at the 91st percentile with 5 stars, but Legacy is close in all-grade math and reading and ahead of Doral in science and 8th grade results.

Legacy also outperforms every nearby Clark County school in math, reading, science, rank, and chronic absenteeism, despite spending far less — $7,252 per student versus $12,637–$14,232 — and having a much higher student-teacher ratio of 39.3 versus 15.6–18.0. Chronic absenteeism fell from 29.1% in 2021–2022 to 10.6% in 2024–2025, then rose to 12.8% in 2025–2026 — still far below the charter district's 17.2% and Nevada's 25.5%, though above Amplus (8.8%) and Doral (9.2%). Keep in mind Legacy's 41.4% free/reduced-lunch rate is much lower than the nearby Clark County schools' reported 100%, so those comparisons aren't apples-to-apples.

What people are saying

This school is a representation of what is wrong with the educational system. When they say traditional, they mean memorization, old school methods, no creativity, constant boredom for the kids, and no problem-solving skills. Anyone can memorize a poem and fill out a book report form. Why are we still insisting on teaching kids to be mindless memorizers instead of thinkers and problem solvers? I have 3 kids in this school. My first is doing well his personality enjoys structure and routine, but he even complains that he doesn’t want to go because they just do the same thing over and over. My second child is doing poorly she is a creative and her teacher even admitted that in 1st grade, they sit still in their desks for over 5 hours per day, and there is very little creative activities. The majority of 6 year olds are not equipped to sit still for that long, they need play and hands-on learning. My oldest child is doing well academically, and enjoys that he is able to go to PE multiple times per week. However, I feel like he is academically stalled from where he was last year simply because he is bored and the work is repetitive. He also recently complained that his teacher is on her phone constantly and is not engaged in class. The class size is way too large to be effective, especially with an advanced curriculum. All three of my kids classes have between 32-35 students and no aide. The campus is beautiful, but that does not make a good school. I really regret taking my kids out of their old school to go to Legacy. Close Quote
