Summary

The Leadership Academy is a high-performing K-8 school in Tyler, TX, serving 332 students as part of the Cumberland Academy district. This school stands out for its exceptional academic results, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past four years and climbing from the 51st to the 87th percentile in state rankings. With a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4:1, students receive personalized attention that is rare in the area—nearby high-performing schools like Birdwell School have a ratio of 18.4:1, and Woods Elementary has 18.3:1.

The most striking difference is the performance gap between The Leadership Academy and its district-mate, Cumberland Academy Upper Elementary. In the 2025-2026 school year, The Leadership Academy’s proficiency rates in Reading (68.5% to 100%) and Math (46.3% to 70%) were dramatically higher than the Upper Elementary’s (Reading: 32.6% to 35.3%; Math: 22.8% to 32.6%). The school also excels in supporting all students, ranking in the 92nd percentile for Special Education students and the 96th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds—a powerful sign of effective, targeted support. Only Birdwell School matches its academic performance, though Birdwell does so while serving a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (68.66%) and with a larger class size.

While the school shows consistent excellence across all grades and subjects, one anomaly stands out: a 0% proficiency rate for the U.S. History End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026, compared to the district (69.9%) and state (70.2%) averages. This could be a data error or a small sample size, but it’s worth noting. Overall, The Leadership Academy’s strong upward trend—from the 51st percentile in 2019 to the 87th percentile in 2025—reflects a school that is continuously improving and delivering a high-quality education for its students.
