Summary

Leon High School is a public high school located in Jewett, Texas, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 380 students. It is part of the Leon Independent School District, which is ranked 350 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leon High School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.6% to 95.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's dropout rates have also been very low, ranging from 0.3% to 1.1% in recent years. However, the school's performance on STAAR tests has been mixed, with strong results in some subject areas like Biology and U.S. History, but struggles in others like Algebra I and Social Studies. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, consistently underperforming compared to their peers.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Teague High School and Centerville Junior-Senior High School, Leon High School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates and test scores, but lags behind in some areas, such as Algebra I and Social Studies proficiency. The school's fluctuating ranking and decreasing spending per student may be contributing factors to its mixed performance.
