LEESVILLE R-IX

Located along East Highway 7 in Clinton, Missouri, the Leesville R-IX School District is an active, traditional public school district dedicated to providing foundational education within a distant rural setting. Operating a single school facility, the district serves young learners from prekindergarten through eighth grade, offering a tailored, primary-focused academic journey before students transition to area high schools. As an independent, non-charter district, Leesville R-IX offers families an intimate and community-centered educational environment, accessible via their official website or direct local phone inquiries.

According to federal data for the 2024–2025 academic year, the district maintains a close-knit student body of 91 pupils, consisting of 46 male and 45 female students. The student population reflects a diverse local character, comprising 79 White students, 9 Hispanic students, and 3 students of two or more races. Learning groups remain remarkably small and attentive, starting with 14 students each in prekindergarten and kindergarten, and tapering to single-digit cohorts in the upper grades. To nurture this student body, the district benefits from a comprehensive staffing structure totaling 78 full-time equivalent team members. This includes 28 full-time equivalent teachers, 2 instructional aides, and 48 support staff, fostering an exceptionally low student-to-teacher environment where personalized instruction and student well-being remain top priorities.
