Summary

Legacy Early College is a public charter school in Greenville, SC, serving 1,592 students from Pre-K through 12th grade within the School Public Charter School District.

The most striking thing about Legacy Early College is its high school success. The school boasts a 97.2% graduation rate—nearly 20 points higher than its district average and 10 points above the state—with a dropout rate of just 0.4%. This isn't a fluke; the school has stayed above 92% for five straight years. The "early college" model means students can earn college credits while in high school, which appears to be a powerful motivator. That focus shows up in test scores too: Algebra 1 proficiency is 91.1% (vs. 74% statewide) and English 2 pass rates hit 97.5%. What makes this even more impressive is that 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, yet the school outperforms wealthier neighboring districts like Greenville 01 (90.6% graduation rate). Compared to other "alternative" schools nearby, the difference is stark: Washington Center has a 0% graduation rate, and Cyber Academy of South Carolina scores far lower on state tests (47.6% in Algebra 1 vs. Legacy's 91.1%).

The picture is more mixed in elementary grades, where math and ELA scores lag the state. But something remarkable happens in middle school: by 8th grade, math proficiency jumps to 58.5%—14 points above the state—and ELA reaches 74.5% vs. 58.9% statewide. This suggests the school intentionally accelerates learning in the upper grades to prepare students for college-level work. Chronic absenteeism spiked to 25.1% in 2023-24 but dropped to 19.7% in 2024-25, now below the state average. With a healthy 14.2:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $15,066, Legacy reinvests heavily in its model. For parents seeking a school that can turn around academic performance and guarantee a path to college, Legacy Early College is a standout option in the Greenville area.
