Leon Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Leon Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates two schools: Leon High School and Leon Elementary. While Leon Elementary has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 2,076 out of 4,647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,041 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, Leon High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 453 out of 1,961 Texas high schools in 2022-2023 to 837 out of 1,974 in 2024-2025.

The data reveals some notable disparities in test scores between the two schools, as well as between the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Leon High School's proficiency rates in STAAR/Social Studies (7.69%) and STAAR EOC/Algebra I (20%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 29.64% and 47.01%, respectively. However, Leon High School maintains a strong 94.7% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.3% dropout rate, which are positive indicators.

Both Leon High School and Leon Elementary have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.79% and 63.61%, respectively, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The difference in spending per student between the high school ($13,121) and elementary school ($10,439) may be an area to explore further, as it could impact the schools' ability to support student learning.
