Legacy Online Academy

Q: Is Legacy Online Academy a good school?

Legacy Online Academy ranks 448 th of 904 Arizona elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Legacy Online Academy is a public charter virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Chandler, Arizona, with 368 students. The school is part of the Legacy Traditional School - Surprise district, which is ranked 115 out of 288 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Legacy Online Academy's test scores are generally lower than the nearby traditional public schools, especially in mathematics, the school ranks 18 out of 820 Arizona elementary schools for its special education students, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the school may be providing strong support and resources for its special education population. However, the school's overall academic performance, including English Language Arts and science proficiency rates, trails the nearby Audrey & Robert Ryan Elementary, Robert J.C. Rice Elementary School, and Weinberg Gifted Academy.

Legacy Online Academy's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 740 out of 1,245 Arizona elementary schools in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars) to 467 out of 1,000 in 2021-2022 (3 out of 5 stars). The school also had a 12.0% dropout rate in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby traditional public schools. These factors, along with the school's service to a potentially higher-need student population, suggest areas of challenge and opportunity for improvement at Legacy Online Academy.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Legacy Online Academy

Year	# Students	Full-time Teachers	Student/Teacher ratio	% Free/Discounted Lunch
2023	368	n/a	n/a	n/a

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
