I believe this school could be rated as one of the top in the country. The teachers are some of the best my daughter has ever experienced. They go above and beyond to support their students. The administration is top notch as well. I have never attended a school function that wasn't supported by either the Principle or Vice and several teachers. We moved here from out of state and my daughter felt welcomed from day 1. The only negative is there is almost no diversity in this school. I know this is Utah, but there are very few minorities at Legacy. This may be representative of the community we live in, but it is definitely not of the rest of the country and world. It was actually the first comment my daughter made after the first day of school. This isn't the schools fault, but if you are moving here from a state where schools are more diverse, be prepared. That is the only reason I rated this school a 4. Every other aspect from students to teachers to administration is top notch!

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject. The CRT is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Utah. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
