Summary

Legacy School is a public elementary school in St. George serving about 562 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade within Washington District, an area with a mix of higher- and lower-performing schools and a relatively high-need student population.

Academically, Legacy is currently in the lower-performing tier of nearby schools. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking was 408th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it at the 28th percentile and earning one star. Proficiency was below district averages in every reported subject: about 38.0% in English Language Arts, 34.2% in mathematics, and 44.0% in science. Mathematics is the clearest concern, especially third grade at 25.3%. Fourth-grade ELA at 29.1% and fourth-grade science at 36.8% are also weak. By comparison, nearby Crimson View School ranked at the 97th percentile, while Riverside School, Bloomington Hills School, and Heritage School also posted stronger results. Legacy was slightly below Sunset School and Sandstone School, but above Paradise Canyon on average assessment performance.

Attendance is another important issue: chronic absenteeism was 27.9% in 2024–25, an improvement from 39.5% in 2021–22 but still higher than both the district and Utah rates. A favorable student-teacher ratio of 18.1:1 provides a potentially helpful resource. Legacy’s strongest distinguishing feature is its work with English Language Learners, whose statewide subgroup ranking reached the 68th percentile and four stars. For families, the key picture is a school with broad academic challenges—particularly in mathematics and fourth grade—but also with identifiable strengths that could support improvement, especially its English Language Learner practices and relatively stronger fifth-grade ELA and science results.
