Leeton R-X

The Leeton R-X school district in Missouri consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Leeton High School boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole is performing poorly, with all three schools ranked in the bottom third of their respective school types in the state.

Leeton Middle School was previously ranked highly, reaching the 5th and 4th percentile in the state in the 2018-2019 and 2017-2018 school years, respectively. However, its current ranking has dropped to the 1st percentile, a concerning decline that warrants further investigation. Conversely, Leeton Elementary School has consistently low test scores, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in math and English language arts.

Across the district, high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch suggest that the schools may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be impacting academic performance. The district should closely examine its practices and implement strategies to address the performance issues, such as targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving student engagement and learning.
