Let me start out by saying that this school has to be one of the best schools in the valley. I have been going to legacy for two years now and have had a blast. Legacy has tons of clubs, and our theatre program is beyond amazing. We also have tons of challenging courses and countless honors and AP options. There are also many courses that most schools dont offer. The rumors of too much violence on campus is way over exaggrated. There are fights, but completly normal ones that would'nt harm a fly. Campus is definatly safe, and the fact that it is inside is a bonus. Moreover, the teachers accually teach and dont take any crap. I would definatly recomend this school over any other school in the valley.
The best school i've been to in the North Las Vegas. With such a high clark county safety control by having school officers inside and out constantly monitering yet respecting students and staying out of the students path, to any aspects of the school through the academic opperunities the school offears by it's wide assortment of classes, and vast exxterecullar activities. The school is indoor, and although allows much-less freedom as school's like cheyenne did before it cleaned up, offears a safe-friendly enviorment. Leagacy's a much better school than other's, the feeling is much better, people get along much better, and people like it. Although, it's standards are alot higher, many student's prefear it over any. But it's not perfect; just good.
This school is very nice and makes you feel great when yoou are if people who care about you and want you want to be.. The teacher care about their kids.
I have been to 3 other high schools in my life, and so far this has been the best i've been to. Everybody is always talking about legacy not being safe, but i think it is. If you compare it to other schools around it, i guarantee you will not find one any safer. And i think the most important thing parents should be looking for in a school is education. An by far none, Legacy offers great classes to all students. They have the most diverse languages and challenging classes one can have. I really would recommend this school. Especially because it's the cleanest one and best for education.
My daughter is a junior at Legacy. The staff and principal are the worst, not the worst in the Clark County school district but horrible. With all the fights that break out almost daily how can the students concentrate on education when all you have to think about is violence in the school. I can't wait until my daughter is out of this gun infested school district. I would not advise any parent to send their child to this school or any school in Clark County district, this town is a education disaster!
I am currently a student at Legacy. Parents can say all they want that our campus isn't safe but when you look at the other high schools, ours is kept safe as much as possible. This school in my opinion is one of the best. It offers classes no one else does and challenging courses. They also have some good teacher in here, ones that actually teach you and make you understand it.
This is an excellent school for students who want to be challenged in their education. It offers many honor classes that actually qualify as an honor class. Students here are above average students. There are many opportunities for involvement of both parents and student to participate in this school. While this school may have a fight or two, it is nothing like those in the valley. It's a very nice school to visit, parents are welcomed at all times. I love the layout and it couldn't be more safer than others. Parents need to be more responsible in their students life to help fight the problems within the schools. I've raised children in 3 other high schools and Legacy by far is a choice selection for education, cleanliness, participation, and student involvement.
This school does not take the responsiblity in making sure the campus is safe for all students. There are to many fights on campus during school hours and this is unexceptable. There should be more consequences these students have to face if they cannot respect each other or staff. I do not recommend this school to any parent or student.
Legacy High School is a beautiful new school in North Las Vegas. Legacy is a global studies school that is focused on preparing their students to be contributing, successful adults in a global society.
