LEGACY HIGH SCHOOL

Legacy High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Kennewick School District school district, located in KENNEWICK, WA with about 222 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Legacy High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Legacy High School, located in Kennewick, Washington, is an alternative secondary education institution within the Kennewick School District. Designed to serve students who may benefit from a more personalized or non-traditional learning environment, the school focuses on credit recovery, flexible pacing, and individualized academic support. By offering smaller class sizes and a more intimate campus atmosphere, Legacy aims to help students who have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting to stay on track toward graduation and eventually earn their high school diplomas.

Beyond academic instruction, Legacy High School emphasizes social-emotional growth and building strong, supportive relationships between staff and students. The curriculum is structured to provide a clear pathway to post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning back to a traditional high school, pursuing vocational training, or entering the workforce. By fostering a sense of community and providing targeted resources for at-risk students, the school strives to ensure that every student has the tools and environment necessary to overcome academic hurdles and achieve their educational goals.
