Summary

Leonard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Leonard, Michigan, which is part of the Oxford Community Schools district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 215 out of 1,580 Michigan elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 1,020 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025, with a current rating of 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Leonard Elementary School's performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally lower than the Oxford Community Schools district and the state of Michigan averages across various grade levels and subjects, particularly in Math. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Oxford Elementary School and Lakeville Elementary School, Leonard Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower across the board. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 23.8% to 37.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the chronic absenteeism rates of nearby schools in the same district.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Leonard Elementary School compared to the state average, the school's academic performance lags behind nearby schools and the district average. This suggests that addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance, such as resource allocation, teaching practices, and support for students and families, could be crucial for improving student outcomes. Targeted interventions and a focus on improving student engagement and support could be beneficial for the school's future success.
