Legacy Academy of Excellence

Summary:

Legacy Academy of Excellence is a public charter elementary school serving 95 students in grades K-8 in a predominantly African American neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 801 out of 835 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Legacy Academy of Excellence is struggling academically, with extremely low proficiency rates on Ohio state tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 5th grade, only 7.7% of students were proficient in science, 0% were proficient in math, and 28.6% were proficient in English language arts. These proficiency rates are well below the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School, which is 0.34 miles away and has significantly higher proficiency rates. Legacy Academy also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 49.2%, which is very high compared to the nearby schools.

While Legacy Academy has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which could be an advantage, the school spends only $8,094 per student, which is lower than the nearby Columbus City Schools district average of $11,536 to $11,869 per student. This suggests that the school may be underfunded and lacking in resources compared to its peers, which could be contributing to its poor academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that Legacy Academy of Excellence is a struggling school that is in need of substantial improvement and additional resources to support student learning and achievement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
