Summary:
The city of Leonard, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Leonard Independent School District (ISD). The district's schools include 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, providing education to the local community.
Leonard High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.2% and low dropout rate of 0.3% in 2022-2023. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is also strong, with several subjects exceeding the state average in 2024-2025, including U.S. History (75% proficient) and English II Reading (64.79% proficient). However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 804 out of 1,974 high schools in 2024-2025 to 1,111 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024. In contrast, Leonard Intermediate has consistently high performance on STAAR Reading and Mathematics exams for 4th and 5th grades, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state and district averages, and is ranked in the top 25% of Texas elementary schools.
The schools in the Leonard ISD serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 58.49% at Leonard Intermediate to 64.19% at Leonard J.H. This suggests the district may face challenges in addressing the needs of its student population, which could impact academic performance across the schools.
