Summary

Leeton Elementary has consistently low academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. In 2023-2024, only 7.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 40.8%, and only 29.7% were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.6%. The school's performance in 5th grade Science is slightly better at 31.7% proficient or better, but still below the state average of 40.8%. Leeton Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.1% to 13.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.76% to 46.1% in recent years, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Nearby schools, such as Knob Noster Elementary, Whiteman A.F.B. Elementary, and some schools in the Warrensburg R-VI district, consistently outperform Leeton Elementary in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The declining performance of Leeton Elementary over the years, from a 4-star rating in 2017-2018 to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024, suggests that there may be systemic issues within the Leeton R-X District that need to be addressed.
