Legacy Traditional School – Chandler

My children attended this school for almost three years and I would agree with the previous review that the first 2 years were amazing considering it was new but after Dr. Croatt left it was all down hill from there. The Principal and Asst Principal were changed out and many of the teachers left. A year later the Asst Principal was replaced again. The curriculum is great but very fast and the homework, book reports and poem recitation are very demanding on the kids. It is a traditional school which means more discipline and I could compare it to a military school in that regard. It was what my kids needed in their early school years but not now. I dont feel that the new principal respects the opinions of parents and doesnt value their involvement nor encourages it as their mission statement states.

My family and I transferred here after much searching around the east valley. We could not be happier. For a 1^st year school, they really have their act together. I credit the fast start to this school to their leadership. Dr. Croat (the principal) is very accessible and seems to be very experienced in her position. The staff, teachers and support team are very helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone seems to really enjoy being here which makes for a very positive campus environment. Homework loads are demanding yet reasonable. Great start… No complaints.
