School Reviews

Not particularly interested in helping LD students succeed. Very puntative atmosphere.
5 10/10/2025
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.
1 10/10/2025
This school needs to step it up.
2 10/10/2025
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.
Review Legacy High School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
