Summary

Southwest Legacy High School in Von Ormy, TX, is a large public high school serving 2,250 students in grades 9-12 within the Southwest Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic need. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating for the last seven recorded school years. While it maintains a graduation rate above 90%, its academic performance on state assessments (STAAR EOC) lags behind both the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra I, where only 18.1% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 54.0%.

Compared to nearby schools, Southwest Legacy is the lowest-performing comprehensive high school in its district, scoring lower than Southwest High School in core subjects like English I Reading (32.7% vs. 47.4% proficient). Smaller, specialized schools in the area dramatically outperform Legacy; for instance, Cast Stem High School (173 students) and Virginia Allred Stacey Junior/Senior High School (395 students) achieve proficiency rates in English II Reading of 82.9% and 89.8%, respectively, versus Legacy's 38.3%. This suggests that the large, comprehensive model at Legacy may be less effective for its student population compared to the focused environments of these alternative schools.

Despite overall challenges, there are some bright spots: African American students at Legacy have performed better than the school average, ranking in the 51st percentile statewide, and the school shows higher proficiency in U.S. History (60.6%) and Biology (51.2%) compared to English and math. However, the school is failing to adequately support its Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the bottom 11th percentile statewide. The contrast between a high graduation rate (94.7%) and low academic proficiency indicates that while the school successfully moves students through to graduation, it struggles to ensure they are academically prepared in core subjects.
