Legacy Prep

Located at 1500 Daniel Payne Drive in Birmingham, Alabama, Legacy Prep operates as an active, independent charter school district serving a dynamic midsize city community. Functioning across two operational campuses, the district holds a comprehensive charter authorization spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, currently supporting a vibrant student body of 536 learners primarily enrolled from kindergarten through seventh grade. As an autonomous local educational agency for federal programs, Legacy Prep delivers an accessible urban educational pathway within the greater Birmingham metropolitan area, maintaining robust community connections through its public communications and official online platform.

Legacy Prep fosters a diverse and inclusive learning environment, bringing together a student body composed of 278 female and 258 male students, with significant representation across Black, multiracial, and Hispanic demographics. A standout aspect of the district’s operational model is its substantial investment in human capital, employing over 105 full-time equivalent staff members to care for and educate its student body. With 57 full-time equivalent teachers on staff, the district maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of under 10 to 1, reinforced by instructional aides and a dedicated support team of nearly 45 staff members. For parents, students, and educational researchers alike, this low student-to-staff ratio highlights a structural commitment to small class sizes, individualized academic scaffolding, and comprehensive wrap-around support services.
