Summary

Legacy Academy of Excellence is a K–8 school at 2283 Sunbury Rd in northeast Columbus, OH 43219, serving 204 students as its own district, the Legacy Academy of Excellence district. Statewide, it ranks 1524th of 1560 in 2025–2026 (2nd percentile), and its district is rated 0 stars, 770th of 773 in Ohio. Its standout metric is attendance: 3.5% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, far below nearby schools such as Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School (19.3%), Kids Care Elementary (38.4%), and North Columbus Preparatory Academy (73.0%). It is also a large improvement from the school’s own 25.9% in 2024–2025 and 49.2% in 2022–2023.

Test proficiency is very low. In 2025–2026, the school had 0% proficient in science grades 5 and 8, math grades 5–8, and ELA grade 7. Its best results were ELA grade 5 at 40% and grade 3 math/ELA at 27.3% each; most other grades were below 15%, including grade 4 math at 3.8%, grade 6 ELA at 4.5%, and grade 8 ELA at 4.2%. Nearby schools often scored much higher: Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School had 75.4% in grade 4 math and 81.7% in grade 5 ELA; South Mifflin STEM Academy (K-6) had 95.8% in grade 5 ELA; Kids Care Elementary had 41.2% in grade 6 ELA versus the school’s 4.5%; North Columbus Preparatory Academy had 25% in grade 6 ELA versus the school’s 4.5%.

The school’s student–teacher ratio rose to 34:1 in 2024–2025 from 28.3:1 and 13.5:1 in prior years. That was second-highest among nearby schools, behind Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School at 35.3:1, while most others were 16–22:1. Yet Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School ranks much higher, suggesting class size alone does not explain the school’s outcomes. Attendance gains are a potential foundation, but they have not yet appeared in test scores. Free/reduced lunch data were not reported for the school or nearby schools, and per-pupil spending was not reported for the school, so those comparisons are unavailable. Some grade results are based on small groups, but the overall pattern—low statewide rank and low proficiency across years—is consistent.
