They are truly amazing people with good intent and drive to make it all happen. I was in a position where I had to support myself and graduate as soon as possible. They managed a way for me to be able to work and go to school and at the same time graduate as soon as possible and retain the knowledge from my studies. Thank you Legacy. Read less

Legacy is finally making strides towards a successful school. Leadership has picked up and the faculty and staff are staying. It has a way to go yet, but I feel it will get there if more parents get involved with their children's education and betterment.

There is no principal, no parent involvement in school, no extracurricular activities, you don't receive report cards, they give you false credits then discredit you for the credits you came with.
