LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the EXCEL ACADEMY school district, located in KATY, TX with about 81 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 4 teachers, LEADERSHIP ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **LEADERSHIP ACADEMY**, located on Katy Hockley Road in Katy, Texas, operates as a specialized campus within the Katy Independent School District (Katy ISD). Unlike traditional neighborhood elementary or high schools, the LEADERSHIP ACADEMY functions as an **alternative disciplinary and educational placement center**. Its primary mission is to provide a structured, disciplined environment for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct.

The school is designed to keep students on track academically while focusing on behavioral redirection and character development. During their placement at the Academy, students follow a rigorous academic curriculum that mirrors the standards of their home campuses, ensuring they do not fall behind in their studies. Simultaneously, the program emphasizes personal accountability, social-emotional learning, and the development of leadership skills, aiming to prepare students for a successful and permanent return to their regular school environment.
