Leroy High School, Leroy AL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Leroy High School

Leroy High School serves students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade in a single building, meaning a child who starts here can stay on the same campus for their entire public school career. The school sits in the rural census-designated place of Leroy, Alabama, roughly sixty miles north of Mobile, in a very low-density part of Washington County. The community has no compact downtown or commercial main street; the built environment is scattered residences along rural roads. Manufacturing and healthcare appear to be notable local industry sectors, though the area is primarily residential and rural in character.

The student body is diverse. A majority of students are White, with a substantial share identifying as Black and a smaller share identifying as American Indian or Alaska Native. Students who identify as Asian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or multiracial each make up a small portion of the school. A significant part of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, reflecting the economic context of the community. Enrollment is moderate for a PK-12 school, with roughly even numbers across the grades, and the school functions as a regular public school.

Academically, the picture is uneven, and the one-year state testing snapshot from the most recent available year carries this contrast sharply. In English language arts, younger elementary students show strong proficiency rates, particularly in grades three, four, and five. The performance drops noticeably in sixth grade and then recovers somewhat in seventh and eighth grade, but the overall ELA proficiency for the school across all tested grades sits close to the middle of the range. Math results are weaker across the board. A small share of students in eighth grade hit proficiency, and the rates for grades four through seven are also relatively low. Third grade math is the one brighter spot at that level. Science results, available for grades four and eight, fall in a moderate range. The state only has one year of this assessment data for the school, so there is no trend line to show whether these results are improving, declining, or stable. Because the school has only this single snapshot, a parent may want to ask the school how student performance has been trending in prior years under different assessments.

The high school portion offers the standard high school grades, and the graduation rate data was not available for this profile. Because the school covers the full K-12 band, programs such as Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, or career and technical pathways would be relevant to families with older students, but the data provided did not include any program offerings. A parent considering the high school years may want to contact the school directly about the range of course options available.

The comparison set available for this school is limited. Washington County contains only one other district, which means the typical school-to-school comparison can not be performed. The lens for understanding this school's academic standing is therefore statewide rather than within the county.

For a family looking at Leroy High School, the main draws are the convenience of a single-campus PK-12 setting in a quiet rural area, and strong elementary reading results in the early grades. The mathematical performance across the board and the drop in ELA proficiency at the middle school level are areas a parent may want to investigate further with the school staff to understand the instruction, supports, and any changes underway. The school serves a community with modest population fluctuations and no evidence of rapid new housing growth, so the student population is likely to remain stable in size.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
