What is the best public school in Leander ISD?

River Ridge El in Austin, Texas ranks first among traditional public schools in Leander ISD with a Success Index (US) of 94.0 out of 100 (Enrollment: 370).

Are these 2025 rankings official?

No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
