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.

The school Southwest Legacy High School has always been respectful. This school has always done a good job at evolving and making it a fun safe place for the students but also, staff, and parents. When I'm there I always feel comfortable speaking my mind and asking questions if needed. The teachers seem to support us constantly to ready and constantly prepare all of us for the pathways that we so desire for college.

My experience here in legacy allowed me to become a better leader and a better person where I was taught to lead and work hard from the beginning of my freshman year to the end of my junior year. I'm so grateful to be called a titan. Although one thing I would like to see change is the food that they give out in the cafeteria I only suggest that they should put more healthier choices of food than just having pizza. :)

By far, the worst school and district I have ever worked for. Absolutely no support for teachers. Administrators stand in the hall and yell between passing periods. The school and the district are the most disorganized place I have ever worked. They do not know how to plan, and everything they do is chaos. I am so glad my children are not part of this district. I couldn't get away fast enough.

Horrible school. The principal is a joke; she and all the administrators are constantly yelling at students. If a teacher is not in the principal’s “inner circle,” she will get rid of the teacher. There is no respect; teachers and students are treated like garbage. If you have high school aged child...
