Legacy Early College stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 70.2% to 95.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average of around 85%.

Legacy Early College students significantly outperform the district and state averages on a variety of end-of-course exams and state assessments, with 91.1% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 63.56% for the district and 73.95% for the state. Despite 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population, the school spends significantly more per student ($15,484 in 2023-2024) than the state average.

However, the school does have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.3% to 25.1% over the past few years, which may be impacting student achievement. Overall, Legacy Early College appears to be a high-performing school that is providing a quality education to its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
