Leoti

Leoti has two schools serving PK–12: Wichita County Elementary serves PK–6 and has 221 students, while Wichita County Junior-Senior High School serves grades 7–12 and has 187 students. The most important difference is the sharp drop in results between the schools, especially in science: the elementary school scored 61 percentage points higher than the high school.

Wichita County Elementary stands out at the top, scoring 75% in ELA, 72% in math and 86% in science in 2025–2026. Those results were 28 points higher in ELA, 32 higher in math and 61 higher in science than the high school’s scores of 46%, 40% and 25%. The elementary school also exceeded state results by 29 points in ELA, 31 in math and 48 in science. The junior-senior high is the lower-scoring school, but its ELA result was about level with the state, and its math score was just 1 point below; science was 13 points below. SchoolDigger ranks the elementary 21st of 657 schools, at the 97th percentile with 5 stars, and the high school 164th of 340, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars.

Both schools improved in ELA and math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. The elementary gained 9 points in ELA, 6 in math and 13 in science; the high school gained 13 in ELA and math, but fell 12 points in science. That decline largely offset the elementary school’s science gains. Grade-level results also vary: the elementary’s fifth-grade math score was 46 points above the state, while the high school’s eighth-grade ELA and math results were below state levels. The schools have similar reported lunch rates (52% and 53%) and spending, while their student-teacher ratios are 11.2 and 10.1. Absenteeism was lower at the elementary school: 11%, compared with 17% at the high school and 18% statewide. These are contextual differences, not explanations for the achievement gap.
