San Leon Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-3

Summary

San Leon Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Dickinson Independent School District (ISD) in Dickinson, Texas, with a student population of 658 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

While San Leon Elementary once ranked highly among Texas elementary schools, it has seen a significant decline in recent years, now ranking 3460 out of 4647 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This drop in performance is reflected in the school's lower-than-average student achievement on STAAR assessments compared to the Dickinson ISD and Texas state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 48% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 46% for Dickinson ISD and 50% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.72% to 84.04% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Hughes Road Elementary (66.9%) and Jake Silbernagel Elementary (86.09%).

However, San Leon Elementary does have a relatively lower student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby Dickinson ISD schools, ranging from 13.1 to 14.5 over the past three school years. This presents an opportunity for the school to provide more personalized attention and support for its students, which could help address the challenges it faces in student achievement and overall performance. Additionally, the school's proximity to higher-performing schools in the Clear Creek ISD suggests potential for collaboration and the sharing of best practices that could benefit the students at San Leon Elementary.
