The school improved in every reported ILEARN area year over year, and chronic absenteeism is just 4.8%, well below the district's 18.7% and the state's 16.7% — notable given its higher free/reduced-lunch rate (23.43%) and student-teacher ratio (20.4).
Leo Junior/Senior High School stands out for graduation and reading.

Math also appears to dip across the transition from grade 6 (56.02%) to grades 7 (38.36%) and 8 (37.74%) — worth watching, though it is not a measure of the same students.
