Leonia Public School District

The Leonia Public School District in New Jersey consists of three schools: Leonia High School, Leonia Middle School, and Anna C. Scott Elementary School. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with the middle school consistently ranking in the top 20% of New Jersey middle schools and the elementary school performing above the state average.

Leonia Middle School stands out as the district's top performer, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting impressive test scores, with over 75% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts across all grade levels. Anna C. Scott Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools and exceeding state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

While Leonia High School has a strong 91.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.2% dropout rate, its performance on state assessments is more mixed, with strong results in Algebra II but lower scores in Algebra I and Geometry. The district as a whole faces a challenge with elevated chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, an issue that the district may want to investigate and address.
