Summary:
Legacy Prep is the sole public charter school serving grades K-6 in Birmingham, Alabama, with a total enrollment of 404 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American (96.29%) and faces significant economic challenges, with 96.29% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Legacy Prep is underperforming compared to state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between the 572nd and 654th out of 680-687 elementary schools over the past three years, with a slight improvement to 601st out of 684 in the most recent year. Proficiency rates on standardized tests in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are all well below the state average, ranging from 0% to 44.44% proficient, compared to state averages of 31.56% to 62.8%.
The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 25.2 may contribute to Legacy Prep's academic challenges. However, the school's fluctuating performance suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
