McLeod School

Summary:

McLeod School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Mc Leod, TX, with a student population of 109 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with a 100% four-year graduation rate, low dropout rates, and strong proficiency in STAAR assessments compared to state and district averages.

One of the key factors contributing to McLeod School's success is its access to significant resources and funding, as evidenced by its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio. This allows the school to provide a supportive learning environment for its students, which is reflected in their consistently strong academic achievements across subjects like Reading, Mathematics, and Algebra I. Interestingly, the school's demographic composition has shifted slightly over the past few years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races.

Compared to the nearby Bloomburg School, which is also an alternative public school, McLeod School generally outperforms Bloomburg School in terms of graduation rates, STAAR assessment scores, and student-teacher ratio, although Bloomburg School has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This comparison highlights the exceptional performance of McLeod School and its ability to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite serving a relatively small community within the Bloomburg Independent School District (Isd).

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.
