GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Some of the teachers were very lazy and unkind. A lot of times we sat on our phones or stared at the wall and didn't do much so it felt like a waste of time. Seminar and homeroom are pointless.

I love my school because there is an amazing sense of community within all of the students. I really like a lot of the teachers and staff. we have lots of great events and resources.

I'm about to graduate from Legend High school. If you're very into sports and care a lot about a school community, I'd honestly suggest it. Although, if you're like me and sports has never been your thing, it's a very average school. There's nothing absolutely amazing about it, nothing absolutely terrible. I don't regret going to Legend, although there are other spots where my specific interests might have belonged better.

Both of my boys have gone to Legend High School (graduated 2019 and 2022) and have both loved it. They were only involved in sports for the first couple years and then found their passions in TSA, DECA, and FBLA. It's not true that Legend only cares about athletes as some of these reviews say. They...

his school sucks, the admin create an environment where only the athletes strive to be successful. The only teachers that like their job are the coaches(which is where our principal got his start!) and the only students that think this is a good school are the oblivious athletes. All other programs...
