The district's schools demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement, with Leonard High School and Leonard Intermediate standing out as the top performers.

Leonard High School boasts an impressive 96.2% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the district and state averages in several STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in Biology, English I Reading, and English II Reading. In contrast, Leonard J H middle school struggles in Mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the district and state averages. Leonard Intermediate also shines, ranking 1293 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools and exceeding the district and state averages in STAAR Reading and Mathematics for 4th and 5th grades.

Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic students making up the second-largest racial group. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.5% to 64.35%, suggests that the schools serve a relatively economically disadvantaged population. The variation in spending per student, from $10,140 at Leonard Intermediate to $13,971 at Leonard High School, may be related to the socioeconomic factors and the needs of the student population.
