Summary:
The 64761 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Leeton Elementary, Leeton High, and Leeton Middle, all part of the Leeton R-X school district. While Leeton Middle stands out as a top-performing middle school in Missouri, the elementary and high schools in this area appear to be underperforming compared to state averages.
Leeton Middle School is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 53-131 middle schools in Missouri and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Leeton Elementary and Leeton High have lower rankings and ratings, indicating they may be underperforming relative to their peers. The schools serve predominantly white student populations, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting they may be serving more economically disadvantaged communities.
Across the district, test scores in English Language Arts and Math are significantly lower than state averages, particularly at the elementary and high school levels. However, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.9 to 13.6 students per teacher. This suggests class sizes are manageable, though other factors beyond just class size may be impacting student achievement. Overall, the data points to opportunities for the district to learn from Leeton Middle's success and implement strategies to improve outcomes across all grade levels.
