Summary:
Leslie County has four elementary schools, all serving prekindergarten through eighth grade: Mountain View Elementary, Stinnett Elementary School, W B Muncy Elementary School, and Hayes Lewis Elementary School. Academic results vary notably by school, grade, and subject, while attendance is a concern everywhere: chronic absenteeism ranged from 36% at Mountain View to 50% at Hayes Lewis, compared with 24% statewide in 2025–2026. The most important shared concern is that all four schools had chronic absenteeism well above the state rate.
W B Muncy stands out across subjects, averaging 72% in reading, 68% in social studies, and 73% in Editing and Mechanics—respectively 24, 29, and 28 points above the matched state results. Mountain View leads in science, averaging 57%, 23 points above the state comparison. Stinnett has the group’s highest SchoolDigger ranking—93rd of 684, at the 86th percentile—but its results vary sharply: 5th-grade social studies was 80%, while 7th-grade math was 31% and science 15%. Hayes Lewis is weaker in several areas, including 4th-grade science at 25%, but its 7th- and 8th-grade math average was 58%, 19 points above the state average.
Matched results declined at all four schools from one year to the next: the average school change was down 6 points, compared with a 1-point decline for the state, or about 5 points worse. SchoolDigger’s rankings moved in different directions: Mountain View improved 17 percentile points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, Stinnett gained 2, and W B Muncy fell 14; Hayes Lewis fell 56 percentile points between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 60% at W B Muncy to 69% at Stinnett; student–teacher ratios ranged from 12.9 at Hayes Lewis to 15.6 at W B Muncy, and neither measure alone sorts the academic results. Grade and subject coverage differs across schools, and some results represent small groups.
