Leadership Learning Academy

The Leadership Learning Academy district in Utah operates two elementary schools: Leadership Learning Academy and Leadership Learning Academy - Ogden. While both schools serve elementary grades, they exhibit notable differences in their student demographics and academic performance.

Neither school stands out as a top performer, as both institutions struggle to meet state academic standards. Leadership Learning Academy - Ogden has particularly low test scores, with many grade levels scoring below 20% proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Leadership Learning Academy performs slightly better, but still significantly below the state averages across all subject areas. The schools' low rankings, with Leadership Learning Academy - Ogden in the bottom 5% of Utah elementary schools, further highlight their academic challenges.

Interestingly, the two schools serve different student populations, with Leadership Learning Academy having a majority white student body, while Leadership Learning Academy - Ogden has a majority Hispanic student population. Despite the demographic differences, both schools have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantages. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Leadership Learning Academy - Ogden has not translated to improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the schools' performance issues.
