Legacy Elementary Charter School

Summary:

Legacy Elementary Charter School is a public charter school located in Chicago, Illinois, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 449 students. The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Legacy Elementary Charter School faces significant challenges in terms of chronic absenteeism and academic performance. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.2% in 2020-2021 to 36.3% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average. Nearby schools like Kanoon Elementary Magnet School (41.9%), Herzl Elementary School (44.1%), and Hammond Elementary School (50.2%) also have high chronic absenteeism rates, indicating a broader issue in the local area. Academically, Legacy Elementary Charter School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels.

The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students and Low Socio-Economic Status students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Illinois elementary schools in these categories. While Legacy Elementary Charter School is a charter school, its academic performance is significantly lower than other nearby charter schools like LEARN Charter - Butler and KIPP Chicago Chrtrs - Ascend Academy. This suggests that the charter school model alone does not guarantee better academic outcomes, and other factors, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, likely play a crucial role.

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.
