Worst learning environment for kids, the vice principle swears at the kids and calls them stupid, teachers at this school don't make learning engaging at all. Half of them sleep during class, they take personal phone calls during class time, and they are playing on their phone all class and don't teach the kids. They don't help kids in bullying situations, in fact they just make things worse. Not at all happy with this school.

SOME teachers are nice and actually want whats best for the student but the principal strain is a joke! Students and parents can come with concerns and all you get is we will look into it and get back with you. You will never get a follow up. Its terrible ! My kids didnt experience bullying from other students but did from teachers.

this school makes your child the perfect target for bullies and the teachers will force your child to finish all assignments without reviewing

There can be a lack of communication. Administration is adequate. The lack of vibrant enrichment has no downside or upside, unless you need to virtue signal. Pretty average school that could be better.

Communication is horrible at this school, it's impossible to get on the same page with some of the teachers.

The school itself is nice, some of the administration not so nice. They like to sweep problems under the rug rather than deal head on with them. There are a few teachers that are down right awful and trying to talk with them to get everyone on the same page is a feat in itself and some of these teachers don't admit to there being problems. Funny thing is my kids are excellent students, respectful, kind, and just sometimes need a little further help. I must say, though there are a few "bad" teachers, there are some good ones too.

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!
