Summary

Legacy Early College High School in Taylor, TX, is a small, high-performing school serving 105 students in grades 9-12 within the Taylor Independent School District (Isd). This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for three consecutive years, ranking in the top 5-7% of all Texas high schools—a stark contrast to its district counterpart, Taylor High School, which holds a 1-star rating. Legacy’s academic proficiency on STAAR End-of-Course exams is exceptional, with scores often 30-50 percentage points above the district average. For example, in 2025-2026, Legacy achieved 91.43% proficiency in English I Reading, more than double Taylor High School’s 40%, and 91.18% in Biology, nearly doubling Taylor High School’s 53.67%. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate for three consecutive years, outperforming nearby schools like Thrall High School (4 stars, 87th percentile) and Hendrickson High School (4 stars, 85th percentile).

Legacy’s success is particularly notable for its effectiveness with all student groups. It ranks 4th out of 1,581 schools statewide for Special Education students (100th percentile) and 16th out of 1,206 for Gifted and Talented students (99th percentile). Despite nearly half of its students (48.57%) being economically disadvantaged, Legacy ranks in the 95th percentile for performance with this subgroup, demonstrating a strong ability to close achievement gaps. The school’s small size—with a student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1—allows for personalized attention that larger schools like Hutto High School (2,313 students, 16.1:1 ratio) cannot match. This focused environment likely contributes to its dramatic academic turnaround, such as Algebra I proficiency jumping from 13% in 2022-2023 to 66.67% in 2025-2026.

Legacy also stands out for its cost-effectiveness, spending just $8,008 per student—significantly less than Taylor High School ($12,303), Thorndale High School ($13,400), and Thrall High School ($11,927). This efficiency, combined with top-tier results, creates a fascinating dynamic within the Taylor Independent School District (Isd), where Legacy is a 5-star school while the district’s comprehensive high school struggles. For parents, Legacy Early College High School offers a proven track record of academic excellence, personalized support, and remarkable outcomes for all students, making it a standout choice in the region.
