Summary

Legacy Junior High is a public school in Layton, Utah, serving about 1,125 students in grades 7–9 as part of Davis District. The school ranks 86th out of 217 Utah middle schools, placing it in the 60th percentile with a 3-star rating. That makes Legacy a solid middle-to-upper-middle performer locally: it is behind higher-ranked Fairfield Junior High, Centennial Junior High, and Shoreline Junior High, but ahead of several nearby schools, including Syracuse Junior High, Central Davis Junior High, Sunset Junior High, North Layton Junior High, and North Davis Junior High.

Recent results point in a positive direction. Legacy improved from 100th place and the 45th percentile the previous year to its current 86th-place, 60th-percentile standing. In 2025–2026, performance was above district and state averages in most tested subjects. The clearest strengths were seventh-grade math, with 53.3% proficiency, and ninth-grade science, with 57.3%. English language arts results were generally steady and above state levels. The main academic opportunities are eighth-grade science, at 46.4%, and ninth-grade math, at 38.8%, which trailed district results. Legacy’s average across the nine reported assessments was about 48%, close to West Point Junior High but below the approximately 55%–57% averages at the highest-performing comparison schools.

Attendance is one of Legacy’s strongest features. Chronic absenteeism fell from 20.6% in 2021–2022 to 12.3% in 2024–2025, well below the district’s 18.6% and Utah’s 23.8%; only Centennial Junior High had a slightly lower rate among the listed schools. Legacy also had an especially strong effectiveness ranking for special education students: eighth of 47 schools statewide, in the 83rd percentile. Families may want to ask about class sizes, since the student-to-teacher ratio rose to 27.1, higher than most nearby schools. Overall, Legacy appears to be an improving, dependable option with strong attendance and targeted academic strengths, though it has not yet returned to its especially strong late-2010s performance.
