Summary:
Zip code 77350 is home to a single high school, Leggett High School, a very small rural school serving grades 7 through 12 with just 96 students in the Leggett Independent School District (Isd).
Leggett High School presents a fascinating paradox for parents. On one hand, it achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, an elite performance that shows the school is highly effective at keeping students on track to earn a diploma. On the other hand, its academic proficiency rates are wildly inconsistent. The school is a standout for extreme subject-specific volatility: it shows remarkable strength in U.S. History (90% proficient) and Biology (78.57% proficient), yet struggles critically in Algebra I (5.88% proficient) and 8th Grade Social Studies (5.26% proficient). This stark contrast suggests potential issues with specific teachers, curriculum, or student preparation in certain subjects. The school's state ranking has also been volatile, dropping from the 63rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025, before rebounding to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026.
With only 96 students, a single teacher or a small group of students can have an outsized impact on the school's metrics. The school showed dramatic improvement in Biology, jumping from 18.18% proficiency to 78.57% in just one year, suggesting a major change in instruction or curriculum. The student-to-teacher ratio is a low 13.9:1, and the district spends $12,579 per student. While the school excels at keeping students enrolled and graduating, parents should be aware that academic success varies greatly by subject, and the small size makes the data highly sensitive to individual performance and staffing changes.
