The Leslie Public Schools district in Michigan is home to two high schools: Leslie High School and Ingham Virtual High School. While Leslie High School is a larger, traditional high school with 342 students, Ingham Virtual High School is a much smaller school with only 14 students and a focus on online learning.

Leslie High School generally performs well academically, outperforming the state average on SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics. However, its performance on M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies is more mixed. The school has a relatively high graduation rate of 88.1%, but also a higher-than-average dropout rate of 7.1%. Ingham Virtual High School, on the other hand, has a lower graduation rate of 83.3% and a significantly higher dropout rate of 16.6%. Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Ingham Virtual High School having a much higher rate of 78.57% compared to Leslie High School's 43.57%.

The resource allocation between the two schools also varies significantly, with Leslie High School spending $13,316 per student, while Ingham Virtual High School spends only $6,927 per student. This difference in funding may contribute to the disparities in academic performance and other metrics between the two schools. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at Ingham Virtual High School is much lower at 2.9 students per teacher, compared to 14.8 students per teacher at Leslie High School, suggesting a more personalized learning environment at the virtual school.
