Summary:
The city of Leo, Indiana is home to two schools - Leo Junior/Senior High School and Leo Elementary School, both part of the East Allen County Schools district. While the schools serve different grade levels, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Leo Junior/Senior High School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Indiana with a 5-star rating. The school's 92.3% four-year graduation rate is significantly higher than the state average, and its students outperform the district and state in ILEARN and SAT assessments across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Leo Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Leo Junior/Senior High School spending $9,330 per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 19.1, compared to Leo Elementary School's $8,692 per student and 21 student-teacher ratio. These factors may contribute to the high school's strong academic performance, but also raise questions about potential equity concerns between the two schools.
