School Reviews
| 2 There is no rating lower than one star, so that's what I gave. Adams 12 has been a disappointment overall. Legacy is not an exception. The lack of professionalism and support for the students is what Legacy is known for in the community. I urge parents to consider other options and not support this institution with your dollars, nor trust them with your child. - Posted by Parent - Kennedy |
| 1 This school needs to step it up. - Posted by Parent - James |
| 5 High expectations for all students. Good principal..good kids and what's most impressive is the schools band program. That band is one of a kind if not the best i've seen. - Posted by Parent - linda |
| 2 Not particularly interested in helping LD students succeed. Very puntative atmosphere. - Posted by Parent - wittn |
