GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I do really love being at this school and you learn a lot, but it is quite difficult as the years start passing and by the time you hit the end you realize that you learned so much but also the memories you had with your friends and you don't want it to end but you're also ready to leave. I was apart of short flags and it was the best thing I did at this school. There aren't many school's that have short flags and this team was the best and we had so much school spirit. We aren't as big as we were before Covid but we're slowly coming back together and we make things possible. We love hearing the school and parents cheer for us when we perform.

Now I have applied to four colleges and I have been accepted to two

STEAM Legacy High School was a good high school when it comes to better preparing you for the future. Certain teachers take a genuine interest in you while others don't. I would like to see more help for college in the future.

The majority of the teachers are communicative and overall the environment is very personable. The college counselors ar...
