Legends Charter School?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have any info on Legends? I found an old thread from when they were first opening but I wonder if there are families or staff with thoughts on the first few years?

RUN FAR, FAR AWAY! I assure you that’s exactly what many current parents are doing and so are the teachers AND even Legends’ Principal. The school lacks basic systems and routines, they actively keep parents out of the school and talk badly about them when a teacher does allows them to visit anyway, they lie to your face and in writing which makes for an awkward conversation when you need to call them out on their lies with the evidence, and pick-up is disastrous. The founders are full of drama AT THE SCHOOL BUILDING including one of the four founders who took off his shirt at dismissal and tried to fight a parent and the two divorced founders who are both now in romantic relationships with the parents of two students and those founders ended up in a full-on personal agreement in the school hallway during the school day. It’s all really a bad situation and sad for the students. Please heed my advice and save yourself and your child a lot of frustration and worry about their academic development and personal safety.

As an aside, it may sound as if I’m upset or even messy myself but everything I’ve stated is common knowledge amongst the Legends community. It’s outsiders that have no idea and come with high hopes only to be left feeling duped. My only anger is toward the lack of academic preparation the students are receiving. Their MCAP scores tell the tale.

I didn't even know of any of the above, but yes, run. Completely not worth it.

Sadly, all of the above is true. I wanted the school to succeed so badly, but we had to jump ship and many others are doing the same.

There was no lies told above. This school is horrible. I was a parent from the beginning I left a year and came back the only thing that got better was pickup they have a security team in the evening most of the time. But in the morning no one is outside to receive the kids. Principal Dixon is rude doesn’t return any emails or phone calls. They lie about your child’s progress. They are always begging for stuff ie board games or even supplies for MLk day and they got mad that no parent hardly donated. This school has went to hell in 3 years there are fights everyday my kinder child has been hurt so many times I can’t count he has been hit in the head and choked. They let anybody in here now. It’s sad you might have to teach your kids how to fight starting in kindergarten. Run unless you want to catch a charge

RUN, RUN, RUN RUN, RUN, RUN! DO NOT GO TO LEGENDS CHARTER SCHOOL! This school is horrible! All of the above is true! My child has attended since the school first opened, and while I tried to stick it out for things to get better, this will be my child's last year. In addition to the things stated above, you can also include bullying, drug usage on the middle school side which is around the corner from the elementary side of the school, poor communication with parents, and my child has not taken a financial literacy class (it's supposed to be a financial literacy school) since attending the school.

School is absolutely horrible. I worked there and can assure the ACTUAL classroom teachers hardly ever come to work. They have maybe 1 or two school subs who aren't reliable so it left with many other school personnel having to fill in and sub for days in a row. Principal Dixon has an ugly spirit and it shows. The light skinned lady Porsha also acts ugly and ghetto and wears slutty clothing to work. Would you want anyone working in a school especially with "director" attached to their title, wearing a crop top with their cleavage out? The lady devose is a bird brain and lacks basic train of thought. The CEOs don't want to be bothered with their actual staff and the children do what they want. They don't have their teachers hardly so what are they really learning? Run while you can. Nothing that was said above is a lie. Not to mention a few who also tamper with booger sugar hence the quick tempered attitudes and constant confusion. I wanted better for this school. Especially since it's predominantly a staff with POC. However, they aren't the greatest examples for children and I'll be glad when this school gets a complete makeover or shut down.
