Summary
Legacy High School is a large public high school in North Las Vegas, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 in the Clark County School District and enrolling 2,682 students, making it one of the largest high schools in its immediate area. Statewide, it ranked 91st of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026 — the 13th percentile, with 1 star. That fits a longer pattern: across the years provided, Legacy never rose above the 28th percentile and usually sat between the 8th and 24th, with ratings of 0 to 1 star. The district overall rates 5th of 12 in Nevada, so Legacy's results sit well below its own district average.
Two numbers stand out for families. The bright spot: 92.4% of students graduated in 2024–2025, above the district's 86.6% and the state's 85.4%, and up from 81.6% the year before. The warning sign: 45.0% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, nearly double the state's 25.5% and far above the district's 27.0%, though this has improved from 51.9% in 2021–2022. Test proficiency remains low: 8.0% in ACT Math, 28.1% in ACT English, and 17.6% on the Science End of Course exam. In recent years, 100% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.
Nearby comparisons are striking. Northeast Career and Technical Academy High School, only 0.33 miles away, reported 40.1% ACT Math, 74.7% ACT English, and 10.2% chronic absenteeism. College of So NV High School East and Shadow Ridge High School also outperformed Legacy on test scores, while Canyon Springs High School and Mojave High School scored lower in math and science. Spending per student ($10,451) is in line with similar comprehensive high schools, but the student-teacher ratio of 24.8 is higher than several nearby schools. The most urgent priorities appear to be reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening math, and supporting low-income students.
