Summary

Leonard High School is a small, rural school in Leonard, TX, serving 269 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Leonard Independent School District (Isd).

This school is a study in contrasts. Its most outstanding feature is an exceptional program for Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide—a 5-star rating that far outshines its overall 2-star performance. However, this success is not evenly shared. The school struggles significantly with math, with only 24.24% of students proficient in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 54.03%. This is much lower than nearby high-performing schools like Whitewright High School (64.29%) and Trenton High School (52.27%). On a more positive note, the school shows relative strength in Biology and English I, where proficiency rates meet or exceed state averages. It also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 0.7%, matching the best in the area.

For parents, the key takeaway is that Leonard High School offers a world-class experience for its Gifted and Talented students and does an excellent job of keeping all students on track to graduate. However, it has notable weaknesses in core subjects like math and U.S. History, and its overall academic performance has been inconsistent from year to year. The school spends more per student ($13,971) than top-performing neighbors like Whitewright ($11,912) and has a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.2:1, which suggests a strong potential for improvement if resources are focused on raising achievement for all students.
