Summary:
The Leeds City area of Alabama has only one middle school, Leeds Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 470 students. The school is part of the Leeds City school district, which is ranked 58 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Leeds Middle School has a diverse student population, with 54.89% White, 26.6% African American, 17.45% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, and multi-racial students. However, the school's academic performance is a concern, particularly in mathematics, where only 17.65% of 6th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 31.56%. In contrast, the school performs better in English language arts, with 7th graders scoring 62.67% proficient or better, above the state average of 51.27%. The high percentage of students (62.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support.
Despite the school's above-average spending per student ($10,345) and a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, which is slightly higher than the state average, the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these challenges and ensure that all students at Leeds Middle School are receiving a high-quality education.
