Summary:
The Leon Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has one standout elementary school, Leon Elementary, which consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments and has seen its statewide ranking improve in recent years. With a student population of 371 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, the school provides a relatively small and focused learning environment, which may contribute to its strong performance despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Leon Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its STAAR test scores, which exceed the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 70.91%, compared to the state average of 52.02%. This consistent academic performance has led to the school's statewide ranking improving from 2076 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1041 out of 4651 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding increase in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 to 4 stars.
The school's higher-than-average spending per student of $10,439 for the 2020-2021 school year and its relatively small class sizes may be contributing factors to its strong academic results, particularly given the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (63.61% in the 2023-2024 school year). This suggests that Leon ISD is effectively supporting the needs of its diverse student population and providing the resources necessary for academic success.
