Legacy Early College

Summary:

Legacy Early College is a public charter school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving grades PK-12 with a diverse student population of over 1,000 students, the majority of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite the challenges faced by its student population, Legacy Early College consistently outperforms the Greenville 01 school district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores, with a 95.09% proficiency rate in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, compared to 72.25% for the district and 72.5% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 12.3 students per teacher, and spends more per student ($12,470 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average.

While nearby schools like Washington Center have even lower student-teacher ratios and significantly higher spending per student, Legacy Early College's academic achievements suggest that its approach to education is successful in supporting its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. In contrast, the Cyber Academy of South Carolina, a public charter virtual school, has significantly lower test scores compared to Legacy Early College and the state average, highlighting the challenges that virtual schools may face in providing a high-quality education.

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.
