We have 2 children at Legacy Oaks and are extremely happy with the school and the teachers.

This year is the second year for my granddaughter at Legacy Oaks and she has 6 classmates that are also spending their 2nd years with Legacy Oaks, because we are very pleased with the high quality education they are receiving.

Had potential but they have had too many headmasters in the last few years. Teachers are excellent but have no support from the admin so burn out quickly. There was a headmaster a few years back that really caused some long lasting problems for the school they are still trying to come back from that.
