Summary:
In zip code 77350, there is only one elementary school, Leggett Elementary, which serves 131 students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the rural Leggett Independent School District (Isd).
Leggett Elementary is a very small school where 74% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1 and spends about $9,729 per student, which is in line with state averages. However, overall academic performance is low, with the school ranking in the bottom 13-14% of Texas elementary schools over the past three years. The most notable bright spot is 5th Grade Reading, where 66.67% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming the state average by over 8 percentage points. This suggests a potential strength in that specific grade and subject.
Mathematics is a significant and consistent challenge across all grade levels. In the 2025-2026 school year, math proficiency rates ranged from just 11.11% in 6th grade to 23.53% in 4th grade, with every grade scoring more than 25 percentage points below the Texas state average. Performance also shows high volatility from year to year, likely due to the very small class sizes where the results of just a few students can dramatically shift percentages. Despite adequate funding and class sizes, the school's low academic outcomes point to deeper challenges related to poverty and instructional strategies, particularly in math.
