Leadership Learning Academy serves as a single school district in Davis County, Utah, operating two schools that together serve students from kindergarten through sixth grade. Because the district ends at sixth grade, it does not report a graduation rate, and no high school academic measures apply. Families who enroll here will need to plan for a transition to another district or school for seventh grade and beyond.
The district’s student body draws from a broad mix of backgrounds. White students make up the largest share, followed by a substantial Hispanic population. Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and multiracial students each contribute smaller shares. Data on the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals, on students with disabilities, and on English learners were not available. A parent may want to ask the district directly about these supports.
On the state’s RISE assessments, administered in grades three through six, the district’s overall proficiency across math, English language arts, and science sits in the bottom quarter among Davis County’s districts. In math, roughly three out of ten students scored at the proficient level or above; in English language arts the figure was similar; in science it was slightly higher, around a third. These results place the district well below the county median. The comparison includes eleven other districts, with the median proficiency index at about half of students proficient. Parents looking for a more academically rigorous peer environment may want to investigate further.
Chronic absenteeism is a notable soft spot. The district’s chronic absence rate falls in the bottom quarter among county districts, meaning a high share of students miss enough school to affect learning. This is the kind of statistic a parent may want to discuss with administrators to understand what the district is doing to address attendance patterns.
On the resource side, per-pupil current spending is in the middle to upper half of Davis County’s districts. That suggests the district allocates above-average funding per student relative to its neighbors, though the available data does not detail how those dollars are spent.
The district runs two schools: one under the Leadership Learning Academy name and a second location in Ogden. The district’s own website and public records describe it as a charter school organization, but the data feed does not confirm charter or magnet status in its profile. The district brief, drawn from public sources, turned up no recent major changes, leadership shifts, or policy updates that would shape family decisions.
Because the locale brief was absent, no information about the surrounding community, housing market, or local economy is available here. A parent evaluating this district should seek out those details from county resources or real estate data independently.
Leadership Learning Academy offers a self-contained, elementary-focused setting within the broader Davis County landscape. The academic proficiency levels and the chronic absenteeism rate are points a family considering this district will want to weigh carefully against their own priorities for early education.
