Mcleod School, Mcleod TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Mcleod School

McLeod School is a pre-K through twelfth-grade public school serving a small rural community in Cass County, Texas. The school enrolls about four hundred students distributed across all grade levels, with a student body that is predominantly white and a substantial share qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating meaningful economic need within the enrollment.

The school's academic profile shows uneven performance across subjects and grade levels. In elementary grades three through five, students show relative strength in English language arts and math, with fifth grade reaching higher proficiency in both areas. Math performance drops notably in the middle grades, with sixth grade showing particularly low results and seventh grade falling even further. Middle school English language arts holds more steadily, though seventh grade dips to about midrange. Science testing occurs only in fifth and eighth grade; fifth grade performance is modest, while eighth grade shows improvement. Social studies testing appears only in eighth grade and represents a weak spot, with low proficiency.

The school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among the seven districts in Cass County, a meaningful distinction. This strength sits alongside the grade-level volatility, suggesting that while the school delivers adequate results on average, its performance by subject and year of instruction is inconsistent.

Data on graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, special education enrollment, and English learner services were not available. The school's website information was also not provided. Information about program offerings, staffing, discipline practices, and specific support services is not present in available sources. Parents or residents looking for details on high school course offerings, dual-credit pathways, career and technical education, extracurricular programs, or the school's approach to intervention and support services may want to contact the school directly, as those specifics were not included in the data reviewed.

McLeod School is a full pre-K-12 campus in a rural setting, which defines its operational scope: it serves the full age range under one roof rather than distributing students across multiple buildings. Families in the McLeod area have this school as the local option, and the school's modest enrollment and rural location shape its peer environment and resource context in ways typical of small Texas schools.

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.
