    A very small school that offers 9-12th grade education. Athletics are very popular among students and a growing selection of sports has become available over the years. Administration has fluctuated over the years as well but has become stable in recent semesters. Dual enrollment is also popular among students and is available to juniors and seniors in good academic standing. National honor society has become a prestigious award also offered to students who complete community service hours and are in good academic standing. Few AP courses are offered at the school but many honors courses are available for extra GPA points.

    It is a small school so you know everyone and everyone knows you. The teachers are kind and helping. They want you to succeed. The school is growing and through that there are new activities and classes added somewhat often, 3-6 years. It does, currently, have a limited supply of extracurriculars and AP classes, because they are pushing all students towards Dual Enrollment.
    Legacy High Charter School has helped shape my son into a better student. It is obvious that each and every one of his teachers care about their students; not just academically, but their overall well-being. My son has always felt less than adequate with his school performance; however, since coming to Legacy High Charter School, he is maintaining stellar grades and his confidence is evident. I cannot thank his teachers and administrative staff enough for their help and support. I highly recommend this school to those who need that extra push for their kids. For those parents that feel helpless because they see their children suffer and struggle with school. They do not need special classes; just a little more time to learn the material. The kind of time that regular public schools cannot always give them due to their class sizes. Legacy High Charter School has saved my child in so many ways. I highly recommend this school.
