Summary:
The Leary Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one school, Leary Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 93 students. The school faces significant challenges, including declining academic performance, high levels of poverty, and racial disparities among its student population.
Leary Elementary's STAAR test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 0% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.86%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, from 1936 out of 4,581 Texas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 4,250 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's academic performance is declining relative to other schools in the state.
Economically, Leary Elementary serves a population that faces significant disadvantages, with 97.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a majority white student population (82.8%), with much smaller percentages of Hispanic (10.75%) and African American (2.15%) students, which may be indicative of broader demographic and socioeconomic trends in the Leary ISD community. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach involving targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement.
