Legacy Middle

Summary:

Legacy Middle is a public middle school in Orlando, Florida, serving 683 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Orange County School District, which is ranked 31 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Legacy Middle outperforms the Orange County and Florida averages in some key test areas, such as 82% of students being proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 53% and 55% respectively. However, the school lags behind in other subjects like Civics and 8th grade Science. Legacy Middle also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35%, significantly higher than nearby schools like Conway Middle (17.7%) and Timber Springs Middle (25.1%). Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 56.37%, higher than most of the surrounding schools.

Despite these challenges, Legacy Middle has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic majority and a relatively even distribution of White and African American students. The school's spending per student has also increased over the years, reaching $11,050 in 2022-2023, higher than some nearby schools like Discovery Middle ($10,482). However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, suggesting it may be facing difficulties in maintaining its academic performance compared to other middle schools in Seminole and Orange counties.

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.
