It's a great school. Have three children that attend and will be graduating this Spring with no issues.

You may be wondering why I gave this school such a low rating. I don't go to this school now since…read moreI left after two months being there. (I left in October 2025). Here's why, for context before I went to Tarkanian I was actually in a small private school with amazing kids and teachers loved that school. However, my parents needed me to find a new school to go to. The two school's we applied for were this one and another. I got into this school first. Before I started Tarkanian I thought this was actually going to be a good school, but holy shit god had other plans. When I first entered and observed the school for the first week. I immediately noticed some huge red flags. First of all, the student's behavior was absolutely terrible although there were some who were actually pretty nice, but most of their behavior was absolute dogshit. They would talk during class, eat gum also in class, and not listen to the teachers. Also, if you are trying to use the bathroom during passing period it is absolute chaos in their whole bunch of students doing whatever in there. Also, there is some shady stuff going on with the students. For example, I have a friend that I have been friends for a long time with before Tarkanian and we still hang out but anyways. My friend told me that another kid from my school (his name is Tristan) who was friends with this dude was that when my friend passed by one of Tristans friend's locker it smelt like weed. He legit told me that. Another thing I saw with one of the students in this school was that when I was waiting for the staff to let us into our classes inside a specific building. I saw a dude in a corner looking around like nobody was noticing him and he casually started counting money like my guess was like it was 200 dollars he was counting. I don't know how he got the money but he definitely 99.9% did something shady. Also, the school lunches are terrible except the teriyaki. Like the food they serve us I am questioning if that's actually food or if it's made from something entirely different like I don't want to know. Also, you can't get through a lesson in class without someone getting in trouble or doing something stupid. In my math class the students are absolute shit in there so much that the teacher has to yell at them every day and chew them out. I like the math teacher she's pretty nice but man those students are absolute assholes to her. Like she deserves better. Also, one time a student literally sprayed perfume in class which she is allergic to in another class my friend was in and had a severe allergic reaction. Like there is a whole ass sign giving warnings about her allergies on the door like can you not read. That was the day she almost died but luckily the hospital managed to save her. Man, those students need to have better respect and manners. The only thing I really liked about the school was the teachers and the staff. They were so kind and amazing. They definitely helped me out when I went there. In conclusion we need to have some students background and mental health checked.

Be aware of this school... if you are thinking of bringing your kids here and expect them to…read morereceive an education look elsewhere. This school is ran by an administrator who will lie, fabricate and will allow harassment and predatory behavior. The principal Mrs. Rose will more than likely send your kid to behavioral school if they are of color despite their social status. Bringing awareness to Southern Highlands and we deserve a better leader to protect our youth! Bringing this to light will make Mrs. Rose hostile and abrasive if not agreeing to their unethical practices.

After attending this highschool for the past four years and I gladly say that this is a very…read moreaverage highschool. Very focused on sports such as football and has a good selection of clubs such as ski club. On top of that the course selection of classes is pretty good with Dual Enrollment and Ap classes. However, there is a heavy influence on substances such as weed and nicotine throughout the school and it is very common to go into the bathrooms and find that. There are some teachers here who shine and actually care about that job such as Ms Fick, and Ms Beckham to name a few.

This school is by far one of the worst schools I have experienced, especially because…read moreadministration is fully aware of the conduct and ongoing complaints regarding certain teachers, including the geometry teacher, Mrs. Escala ("Pinky"), yet nothing has been done. Because of this teacher, my son is now being told he cannot participate in graduation over a 0.5 credit issue that honestly feels personal at this point. What makes it even more concerning is that I have two children at this school, and both have experienced the same problems with this teacher. Is that just a coincidence? Las Vegas already struggles with the level of education being provided, and having teachers who take away a student's opportunity to walk at graduation something every teenager dreams about is truly disappointing and shameful. Parents should be very careful and stay involved, because from my experience, this school does not genuinely care about the students' future or success.

My child attended Southwest Legacy from 4th grade to 8th grade. It's been a mixed experience…read more Teachers are hit or miss. Overall though, they seem pretty decent and want your child to succeed, even offering free after school tutoring. Some were very quick to respond to emails, some you would wait 1-2 days before hearing anything back. As far as homework load, that seemed fairly balanced. My child didn't have much trouble getting it done. My only suggestion would to be to switch up the semester Science projects. It was the exact same packet and project choices, for five years. They never did anything different and by grade 8, my child was mind numbingly bored with the same options. Next: bullying and drugs. Bullying is absolutely not tolerated here. Shout out to the Vice Principal, Mrs. Chipman, whom nips it in the bud with a quickness. They also have zero tolerance when it comes to drugs and are swift to react to any incidents. So high kudos for that. School events; a few are themed and very cute, others thrown together with very little thought (especially this last year). There would be only a couple days notice to the day before the event. It was strange. Graduation for 8th grades was not well executed either; no enforcement on the 4 tickets limit given so everyone that wanted to, attended (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, you name it). They ran out of seating quickly due to this. It was unfair to those that followed the guidelines and they never addressed it. For a school that is so stringent with kids regarding rules, that was a bit disappointing to see. Next up, the front office... if you're lucky enough to catch them on a good day, they can be very helpful but again, that is a mixed experience. Catch them on (regular) bad days and they are dismissive, short, and rude. As someone who has to make calls throughout the day at my job -and- taking in consideration that I'm sure they deal with a few unpleasant parents, I'm always polite, not once ever calling with an attitude. It doesn't seem to matter. And God help you if you get ahold of Alisha; the rudest, most foul tempered of the lot. How she still works there is absolutely beyond me. If I spoke to clients the way she does to parents, I'd be fired in an instant. It got to the point that if I heard her voice answer, I would just hang up and try again later. Last but not least, the emails. I get that they need to keep people informed but the frequency that they send them is just obscene. I'm not joking. It's -at least- three times a week and the timing is so random. Sometimes you'll get them at 2pm and sometimes you'll get them at 5pm, 7pm, and up to 9pm. Weekends aren't safe either. They really need to learn to reel that in with designated frequency, days, and times. It gets overwhelming quick and it's easy to miss updates. Overall, it's an okay school but needs some restructuring, especially the front office staff.

Worked at Legacy Traditional School as a teacher. Very day functional, dirty, crowded classrooms…read morewith over 32 kids, and administration that treats staff and parents inappropriately. Excellent parents and students!

This school absolutely sucks. They believe that they're all high and mighty but my experience here…read morewas horrible. The principals (the main one and the 4 assistant principals) are absolutely rude, don't care about their students, and are sometimes even racist. They're horrible and rude to students including those who do good, the teachers (like the 7th grade science teachers, the cafeteria ladies, and the student success women) are extremely rude and disrespectful, and random teachers (I don't know their names) like to yell at the students. The students are constantly fighting and being rude to each other and even cyberbully each other. Yet, what do the principals do? They don't do ANYTHING! I got in the most trouble during a situation I had little to do with and the other people involved (who did the most) got in little to no trouble. The most they got was a phone call home but I was suspended. I'm never coming back here ever again and my mental health has gotten significantly better after leaving. Parents and students, if you're thinking about sending your kid/yourself here, take it from me - STAY AWAY. Get better education somewhere else and save yourself the trouble. The teachers don't care about you, and everyone is fake. Students get intimate in the bathroom sometimes, leak each other, and even smoke/vape in the bathroom. They even hired some teachers who didn't have a good background and shouldn't be around kids - yet, they never looked at it!
