Q: Is American Legacy Academy a good school?

American Legacy Academy ranks 552 nd of 943 Colorado elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

American Legacy Academy is a public charter elementary school serving approximately 800 students in grades K-8 in Windsor, Colorado. The school is part of the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4, which is ranked 16th out of 116 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While American Legacy Academy is part of a high-performing district, the school's academic performance lags behind its peers. The school's proficiency rates on the CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) exams are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects, particularly in 4th and 5th grade math. For the 2023-2024 school year, American Legacy Academy ranked 552 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This ranking is lower than nearby public schools in the same district, such as Range View Elementary and Grandview Elementary School.

Interestingly, the only other charter school in the area, Windsor Charter Academy Elementary School, significantly outperforms American Legacy Academy, ranking 134 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools and having much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math. The nearby public schools in the Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4 also generally outperform American Legacy Academy on test scores and statewide rankings, suggesting the school may be underperforming compared to its peers.

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.
