Legacy Traditional School - North Valley

"We are very disappointed with our experience with Legacy. We found that there was an extraordinary lack of communication from administration when it came to very important issues (such as grades and safety). However, they were very communicative when it came to asking for donations every other week. When our concerns were brought to administration, we were treated with dismissiveness. "Leadership" seemingly refuses to take responsibility and will have no problem blaming teachers, students or parents. All administration cares about is test scores and will steer you to leave if those test scores are not met. Beware, if your child is bullied action will NOT be taken. Also, their driveline is AWFUL. Expect to take 1hr to pick your child up every time. Before you apply, save yourself the trouble. They do not care about your child’s safety, only your money."

"My son loves the school and his teacher, he is only on the 1st grade and he has learned a lot. In comparison to his friends from his old school he is a head. The school is new and there's some things that needs to be fixed for example less kids per class."

"This school has an organization and bullying problem. My son LOVED this school and his class. That shortly ended when he came home to tell me people we picking on him, and every time he asked for help, he was ignored. After almost half a school year of dealing with the bullying, my son began to act out. After multiple times of reaching out, we were passed from one staff member to the next. Always dealing with someone new. Always hearing new promises that someone would help my son, but it never actually happened. There aren't any counselors staffed, and the teachers are loaded with 30+ children each. Each "principal" we spoke with promised to help, and instead passed us to the next person. By the end of the whole ordeal, our last option was to withdraw him, or he would be expelled. Legacy traditional school has failed my child, and has taken on a bigger load than I think they can handle."

"I currently have two children attending legacy and they have had a great experience. Since this is the first year this school is in operation there are a lot of adjustments to be made. We love the accelerated curriculum and the music program. This school has a lot of potential and we're looking forward to another great year."

"Legacy Traditional School is like another CCSD school or becoming one. The students are fighting in the school already. Students are having sex in the bathroom, bring marijuana to school and a lot of behavior issues with kids. The Principal "Tom Ellis" is weak, he have been harassed by parent for let kids fight after kid report to someone that a kid was going to try to fight him. Basically the new school is out control with no consequence for the students and their parents, it should be a privilege for parents kids to go charter school....Let get these kids under control now."
