Summary

Legacy Preparatory Academy is an alternative public charter school located in Woods Cross, Utah, serving 982 students in grades KG-9. While the school has a unique focus as an alternative institution, it faces some notable challenges compared to nearby schools.

One key area of concern is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 31.8% over the past few years - significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools. Additionally, Legacy Preparatory Academy's test scores, while varying across grade levels and subjects, are generally below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 29.7% to 56.8%, compared to the state average of 36.4% to 49.6%. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 3.73% in 2022-2023 to 19.86% in 2023-2024, suggesting a shift in the socioeconomic demographics of the student population.

When compared to other alternative schools in the area, such as Granite Connection High and Youth Educational Support School, Legacy Preparatory Academy's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools in certain metrics, it lags behind others, particularly in test scores and graduation rates. However, the school's test scores do show some areas of strength, such as higher proficiency rates in 4th and 6th grade science, providing opportunities for improvement. By addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, improving academic performance, and supporting the evolving needs of its students, Legacy Preparatory Academy can strive to provide a more effective and equitable educational experience for the community.
