Leonard High School

Summary:

Leonard High School is a public high school serving 255 students in grades 9-12 in Leonard, Texas, which is part of the Leonard Independent School District. The school has a higher percentage of White students and students of two or more races compared to nearby schools, and it consistently maintains high graduation rates and low dropout rates, though its academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages.

One of Leonard High School's strengths is its performance with gifted and talented students, ranking in the top 15% of Texas high schools in this category. However, the school struggles with certain student subgroups, particularly White and Hispanic students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools for these populations. The school's overall statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, suggesting it may be losing ground compared to other high schools in the state.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Savoy High School and Celeste High School, Leonard High School generally performs on par or slightly better in areas like graduation rates and dropout rates, but lags behind in overall academic achievement. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families, may be a factor in its academic performance, particularly in subjects like Algebra I.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
