Original Research by School Decision on Le Roy Junior-senior High School
Le Roy Junior-Senior High School serves grades seven through twelve in a small village setting about twenty-five miles southwest of Rochester. The school draws from a rural-suburban district that consolidated into two buildings: an elementary school near downtown and this junior-senior high campus situated apart from the village center.
The student body is small to moderate in size for its grade span. About two-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a working-class community. The enrollment is predominantly white, with small populations of students identifying as Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial. Data on students with disabilities and English learners was not available.
In state testing, Le Roy's proficiency results are mixed. Seventh-grade math sits at around two-thirds proficient, a solid performance, but eighth-grade math drops sharply to about one-quarter proficient, accompanied by a much lower participation rate that suggests testing conditions or student engagement may be challenged at that level. Seventh-grade ELA is near half proficient, while eighth-grade ELA and science both fall in the low-to-mid forty percent range. Across tested subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Genesee County. A parent considering this school may want to look further into what accounts for the eighth-grade decline, particularly in math, and what support structures exist for students working below proficiency.
The school offers athletics including basketball, soccer, softball, track and field, and volleyball, along with a music program. The district approved a significant capital project in late 2023 without a tax increase, funding facilities repairs and a new multipurpose sports field with construction to begin in 2025. The district also revised its high school graduation honors system to allow any student willing to meet requirements to achieve Summa Cum Laude honors regardless of career pathway, broadening access to top honors.
Le Roy itself is a small village with a walkable downtown core centered on Main Street, though daily life is car-dependent for most residents. The community has deep roots, known as the birthplace of Jell-O and lined with Victorian homes. The local economy is anchored by retail, manufacturing, and educational services. Housing values are moderate, and mortgage affordability is reasonable relative to national benchmarks. The area has seen population flatten or decline slightly in recent years, though new senior housing is in development.
State testing data for high school grades was not provided in available materials. Graduation rate data was also not available. Data on staffing, attendance, and discipline was absent. The school website would offer fuller detail on course offerings, advanced placement, career pathways, and specific academic support services.
