Best Public Schools in Leon, WV

Summary:

The city of Leon, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Leon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school's student population is predominantly White, with 98.53% of students identifying as such and the remaining 1.47% as Hispanic.

Academically, Leon Elementary School's performance on state assessments has been mixed compared to the Mason County Schools district and the state of West Virginia. While the school's 6th-grade students excelled in mathematics and English Language Arts, the 3rd and 5th-grade students struggled to match the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science scores were significantly lower than the district and state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,028 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, the lack of racial diversity and the inconsistent academic performance across grade levels suggest areas for improvement. To better understand the school's strengths and challenges, further analysis of trends over time, comparisons to similar schools, and input from the local community would be valuable.
