Schools in Leon County

About schools in Leon County

Eleven public schools across five districts give Leon County families more options than the county's rural footprint might suggest. Spread across small towns like Buffalo, Centerville, Normangee, and Oakwood, the schools here serve tight East Texas communities where class sizes tend to stay manageable. No school currently ranks in the top statewide quartile, but Leon Elementary in Jewett leads the county at the 74th percentile, with Buffalo Junior High and Buffalo High School close behind — both hovering around the 70th percentile. Families drawn to smaller districts with consistent mid-range performance will find the Buffalo schools particularly worth a closer look.
