Summary:

Legacy Traditional School - Deer Valley is an elementary public charter school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 451 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has seen a mix of academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the state average in most grade levels, except for 6th grade ELA where the school outperformed the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Constitution Elementary School and Sunrise Elementary School, Legacy Traditional School - Deer Valley has generally performed better. However, it has lagged behind the high-performing Hearn Academy The - A Ball Charter School and Reid Traditional Schools' Valley Academy. The school's statewide ranking has declined, dropping from 390 out of 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 540 out of 1,245 in 2022-2023, and its overall rating by SchoolDigger has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars out of 5.

The school has seen varying performance among different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, but African American and multi-racial students struggling. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased significantly, from 20.9% in 2021-2022 to 48.78% in 2022-2023, suggesting an increasing proportion of students from lower-income families attending the school. These demographic changes, along with the declining academic performance, present challenges that the school will need to address to support the diverse needs of its student population and improve its overall performance.

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.

Horrible drive line process. Not very advanced, will not move your kid up even if they show high scores all year. No gifted classes. Ghetto Close Quote

2022	335	n/a	n/a	20.9

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.
