Summary:
Legacy Traditional School - Laveen Village is the sole elementary school located in the Legacy Traditional School district in Laveen, Arizona, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 1,084 students.
This public charter school has a diverse student population, with 60.42% Hispanic, 19.56% African American, 10.06% White, 3.51% Asian, 1.48% Native American, and 0.65% Pacific Islander students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the statewide averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 24% in ELA and 19% in Math, compared to the statewide averages of 41% and 43%, respectively. The school's 8th grade proficiency rates were also below the state averages, with 46% in ELA and 14% in Math, compared to 37% and 27% statewide.
Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 539 out of 1,226 Arizona elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 758 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, indicating that its academic performance may be struggling relative to other schools in the state. With nearly 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the academic challenges. To address these issues, the school may need to focus on implementing targeted interventions and support programs, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science, to help close the achievement gaps and improve overall academic outcomes.
