Summary

Legacy School is a public pre-kindergarten-through-sixth-grade elementary school in American Fork, Utah, serving 819 students in the Alpine District, an area with a wide range of nearby school performance. Legacy earned a five-star rating and ranked 46th out of 563 Utah schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 92nd statewide percentile. Its ranking has remained in the top statewide decile in every reported year since 2015–2016, suggesting that its strong results are consistent rather than the result of a single unusually good year.

Legacy’s 2025–2026 test results were above both district and state averages in every reported grade and subject. Science was the strongest area overall, led by sixth-grade science at 83.9%; sixth-grade mathematics was also notably strong at 71.5%. Fifth grade was the clearest area for improvement, with 57.3% proficiency in English language arts and 54.4% in math. Among nearby schools, Legacy ranks behind Highland School, Cedar Ridge School, and Shelley School, but it substantially outperforms Barratt School, Greenwood School, and Forbes School. Legacy’s sixth-grade results are particularly competitive with these higher-ranked schools.

Attendance is one of Legacy’s biggest strengths: chronic absenteeism was 12.4% in 2024–2025, the lowest rate among the nearby traditional schools listed and well below the district’s 20.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. The student-teacher ratio improved substantially, from 31.2 in 2022–2023 to 23.9 in 2024–2025, although it remains somewhat higher than at Highland, Cedar Ridge, and Shelley. Overall, Legacy combines strong academics, improving classroom staffing levels, and unusually good attendance. Families may want to ask specifically about fifth-grade supports and how the school is working to narrow the remaining gap with the area’s highest-ranked schools.
