Summary:
The city of Leonard, Michigan is home to two elementary schools: HamiltonParsons Elementary School and Leonard Elementary School. These schools serve students in the Romeo Community Schools and Oxford Community Schools districts.
Based on the available data, HamiltonParsons Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, ranking significantly higher than Leonard Elementary School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. HamiltonParsons Elementary School also has higher student proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, and M-Step/Science compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, HamiltonParsons Elementary School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients than Leonard Elementary School.
While Leonard Elementary School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate to better academic outcomes. The data suggests that factors beyond just spending and staffing levels may be driving the performance differences between the two schools. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools could be an area for improvement that could potentially lead to better academic performance.
