Summary

Legacy High School is a small public school serving grades 9–12 in Marysville, Washington, with 143 students. Located in the Marysville School District, it offers a much more closely staffed setting than nearby comprehensive high schools, with an 11:1 student-teacher ratio. However, its small size means that percentages can change noticeably from year to year, so families should look at several years of results rather than relying on a single score.

Legacy’s graduation rate was 70.7% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 80.8% and Washington’s 82.6%, although it improved from 60.6% in 2021–2022. The biggest concern is the 20.0% dropout rate, higher than the district’s 12.1% and much higher than Marysville Getchell High School at 7.4%, Lake Stevens Senior High School at 4.6%, and Everett High School at 2.5%. Academically, 37.04% of students were proficient in ELA in 2025–2026, below most nearby comprehensive schools. The state suppressed Legacy’s current math result, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.

Science is Legacy’s clearest recent academic strength: 41.67% proficiency in 2025–2026, above the district’s 36.29%, though below the state’s 50.95%. Legacy also ranked above Marysville Pilchuck High School statewide, but below Lakewood High School, Getchell, Everett, and Lake Stevens. Its 27th-percentile ranking reflects improvement from earlier years but remains below average. The school’s low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending may support individualized services, yet retention and consistent academic progress remain important priorities. Results were stronger than those reported by same-address neighbor Heritage School, but the programs may serve different student populations.

by a student
Friday, February 11, 2011

It was a very good public high school experience. The smaller class sizes fostered a more intimate learning environment and a sense of community. Most of the teachers seemed to actually enjoy teaching (A shocker, I know) and many had master's degrees and offered several college credit classes. Close Quote
