Summary

McLeod School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the McLeod Independent School District (ISD) in Mc Leod, TX, with 428 students. The school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate for the past three school years, indicating strong student retention and academic success.

McLeod School consistently outperforms the state average on STAAR tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with significantly higher proficiency rates in areas like 5th grade Mathematics, 8th grade Science, and Algebra I End-of-Course. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.8 to 12.4 over the past few years, and spends significantly more per student ($12,907 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

Compared to the nearby Bloomburg School, also an alternative public school, Bloomburg Independent School District (ISD) has lower proficiency rates on STAAR tests and a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting that McLeod School may be providing a higher quality of education and support for its students.
