Summary:
Leggett Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to a single high school, Leggett High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 736 out of 1,987 Texas high schools in 2023-2024 and 1,311 out of 1,876 in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 stars out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 3 stars in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.
Academically, Leggett High School's proficiency rates on STAAR tests are generally below the state average, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 90.9%, slightly higher than the state average, and its dropout rate for 2021-2022 was 0.0%, lower than the state average. The school serves a diverse student population, with 56.25% White, 12.5% African American, and 30% Hispanic students, and a high percentage (86.25%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($12,579 in 2020-2021) and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.1), its academic performance remains below the state average. This suggests that simply allocating more resources or reducing class sizes may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and the school may need to focus on other factors, such as curriculum, teacher quality, and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its diverse, low-income student body.
