I really do enjoy this school the academics are wonderful! The teachers are all great! I have 4 children whom have attended since k. I have another daughter who went but is now attending another school because they have discontinued the 7th and 8th grade. I wish they could have continued the middle school portion of the school. The staff is excellent and i strongly believe in the schools motto any child who attends will become a leader if they are not leaders already!

my child has attend legacy for 3 year and she is going on her fourth year there. We are every pleased with all of the teaching staff thus far. She has excelled in all subjects. The drama and music department is excellent. My daughter has become very active,and has become very confident. As a young lady the school staff has helped build my child self-esteem,respect for others,they incourage the child to strive for excellent in all areas of life. Al of the staff that I have encountered have this beleif and I really like this(strive to achrive and you will succeed) I have found it to be a great alternative to youngstown's public schools. Plus being a christian type of school,was the glue that celled it for us. The teachers seem to know all the students. you get a great since of home. We are senting our 5 yr.old.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Ohio used the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The OAA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Ohio. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

No Value-Added data was reported for this school.

About the tests

In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.

About the tests

Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
