Summary:
The Leake County School District in Mississippi is home to two high schools, Leake Central High School and Leake County High School, both serving grades 9-12. While the district as a whole is ranked 99 out of 130 in the state, there is a notable performance gap between the two high schools.
Leake County High School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide school digger ranking of 2 stars compared to Leake Central High School's 1-star rating. Leake County High School also outperforms the district and state averages in several subject areas, including Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History. However, both schools face challenges, with high rates of economic disadvantage (100% free/reduced lunch) and chronic absenteeism (23.9%).
Despite these challenges, the data reveals that Leake County High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.2, compared to 15.5 at Leake Central High School. This suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the systemic issues impacting student outcomes across the district, with a focus on replicating the successes of Leake County High School and providing additional resources to Leake Central High School.
