Summary

Legacy Middle School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Franklin, Tennessee, enrolling 558 students as part of the top-ranked Williamson County Schools district. The school holds a 5-star state rating and ranks #34 out of 594 Tennessee middle schools (94th percentile statewide), with proficiency rates far above state averages in every subject. However, within Williamson County's exceptionally strong peer group, Legacy ranks second-lowest among seven nearby district middle schools — Woodland Middle School (#2), Brentwood Middle School (#3), Fred J Page Middle School (#10), Grassland Middle School (#14), Thompson's Station Middle School (#15), and Heritage Middle School (#23) all rank higher. Legacy's ranking has drifted from #13 in 2020–2021 to #34 in 2025–2026, reflecting how much stronger nearby schools have become.

Legacy's clearest academic standout is Algebra I, with 92.2% proficiency compared to 32.3% statewide and 62.7% districtwide — a result that has held consistently in the high 80s to low 90s over several years. At the same time, the school shows a notable 8th-grade performance dip across nearly every subject: math drops from 67.0% in 7th grade to 48.9%, ELA from 67.0% to 53.5%, and science from 78.5% to 61.5%. Math is Legacy's greatest relative weakness within the district, sitting 15.6 points below the district average. The school also earns recognition for strong outcomes among historically underserved students: special education students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, Hispanic students in the 89th, and African American students in the 83rd.

Legacy spends $13,547 per student — higher than several WCS peers like Woodland ($12,267) and Brentwood ($12,353), but far below nearby Franklin Special School District schools such as Freedom Middle School ($21,336) and Poplar Grove 5-8 School ($25,182), which Legacy outperforms decisively. Chronic absenteeism is low at 8.9%, well below the state rate of 20.3%. For families comparing schools, Thompson's Station Middle School, about 4.9 miles away, is Legacy's most direct comparison and leads it in most subjects, though Legacy's Algebra I results — which Thompson's Station did not report — remain a clear advantage.
