I retired from So Dak and moved to Co. Started driving school bus to Legend 2 years ago. All my contact with the principal, teachers, and security guards have been very positive. They are caring, kind, and professional. I am impressed with the Legend High students. They are great young adults giving me great confidence in the future. This school has earned the highest ratings.
Teachers and administrative staff are sensational, knowledgable, and really work with individual students to achieve goals. Classes are fit for students to provide challenging curriculum for all levels. School environment is outstanding, with amazing respect among everyone. The activities, from athletics to the performing arts, are ideal and there is something for every student. Legend is an amazing school.
This is by far the worst high school ever. All I have to say about this school is negative things the atmosphere of this school is not good. I used to go to this high school and recently switched because I'd had enough of a lot of the staff. this is a new school and still has many flaws in their system
My oldest kid graduated from PHS in 2008 with honors. My middle daughter transfered from PHS to Chaparral at the start of her senior year and graduated 2010. My youngest daughter transfered to Legend from PHS at the beginning of her sophomore year. My daughter LOVES LHS! My biggest objection to PHS is a lack of rules and passion. They make it easy for the kids to sneak out of class and off campus. If the teachers and administration don't care why should the students. Legend offers open campus to second quarter sophmores and upper classmen. All student must earn open campus. Everyone at Legend really cares and it shows. I would also like to add that Chaparral is a wonderful school!
LHS is a great school. It has a great atmosphere. Most of the teachers I have had have been good. The standards are high, but they don't feel that they are so high only a few can acheive them. I am in the inaugural class, and sometimes I wish I was in a HS with older kids, but it is nice being the oldest and just a 10th grader.
I am so impressed with the curriculum and philosophy. I have so many great things to say about this school. It's an all around great school.
Best HS ever. Newer school but I'm sure this school will continue on a great path as long as they stick with the administration staff and the teachers. Time will tell in the next 5 years if this school is for real.
We went through high school in San Jose, CA, with our two older kids, and we are so amazed and thankful for Legend High School, where our two youngest kids attend. Our high school in SJ was the best rated in the city for public school. It was challenging academically, but there were unbelievable problems with teachers, drugs, attitudes, etc.
