Summary

Legion Collegiate Academy is a public charter high school in Rock Hill, South Carolina that serves 542 students in grades 9-12. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceptional student proficiency rates on end-of-course exams.

What sets Legion Collegiate Academy apart is its diverse student population and strong academic support for underrepresented groups.

This level of sustained excellence, combined with the school's ability to support diverse learners, offers valuable insights that could benefit other schools in the York 01, Lancaster 01, York 04, and York 03 districts.
