Legacy Elementary School

Summary:

Legacy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Bossier City, Louisiana, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 602 students. This school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic performance and student proficiency rates that far exceed the district and state averages.

Legacy Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its consistent 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating exceptional performance. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had an impressive 94% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to 67% for Bossier Parish and 59% for the state of Louisiana. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts and Social Studies proficiency rates were 91% and 83%, respectively, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This consistent academic achievement has earned Legacy Elementary a statewide ranking between 19-36 out of over 700 schools in Louisiana.

While Legacy Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, it also reflects the diversity of the local community, with significant representation of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. Compared to nearby schools, such as Stockwell Place Elementary and Kingston Elementary, which also demonstrate strong academic performance, Legacy Elementary stands out for its exceptional results, particularly in supporting the academic achievement of diverse student subgroups. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio and increasing free and reduced lunch rates may present potential challenges in maintaining its exceptional performance, especially in supporting students from lower-income backgrounds.

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.
