Legacy Elementary School

Summary:

Legacy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Frederick, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 434. The school is part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, which is ranked 33 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 4-star rating.

While Legacy Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (68.66%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 34.98% to 77.21%, it also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (23.96%). However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in CMAS/Science, compared to the district's 48.2% and the state's 37.9%. Additionally, Legacy Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (27.42%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 8.73% to 57.21%, and a higher student-teacher ratio (18:1) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 12.7:1 to 19.5:1.

When comparing Legacy Elementary to nearby schools, such as Highlands Elementary and Erie Elementary, both of which are also part of the St. Vrain Valley School District, it becomes evident that Legacy Elementary is underperforming academically. The school's statewide ranking has also been steadily declining over the years, from a high of 253 out of 938 Colorado elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 460 out of 933 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic 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.

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.
