Leakey ISD

Real County Judge Ed Kelly established the Leakey Independent School District in 1919.  Land for a new school building was donated by A.G. Weston and it opened in 1922. A larger campus was constructed in 1930. Soon after, several smaller schools consolidated with Leakey, including West Frio, Cypress Creek, Rio Frio, Exile, Stanford, Dry Frio, and Harper. A twelve-grade system was instituted in 1941.

Students in kindergarten through grade twelve are housed on one campus.  Today, the district serves a student body of approximately 280-300.
