The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol.

The funding mix is 84.9% local, 10.1% state, and 5.0% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $132,143 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

a 151.5:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 26.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.4% White, 11.7% Hispanic or Latino, 1.6% African American across the district's schools.

Leyton Elementary/Junior High School accounts for 70.2% of all LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS student-counselor ratio is 152:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS chronic absenteeism rate is 26.9% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS is typically wider than the LEYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS-aggregate figure suggests.
