Summary

Leinkauf Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Mobile, Alabama, with 556 students. The school is part of the Mobile County school district, which is ranked 94 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leinkauf Elementary has consistently underperformed the Mobile County and Alabama state averages on standardized tests, with only 48.6% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to 36.88% for the county and 45.47% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 31.5% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Leinkauf has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population.

However, Leinkauf's African American and special education students actually rank quite highly compared to their peers statewide, suggesting the school may be doing a better job supporting these subgroups. Nearby magnet schools, such as EicholdMertz School of Math and Science and W.H. Council Traditional School, significantly outperform Leinkauf and the state averages across the board, highlighting the potential impact of school choice and specialized programs. Despite spending around $9,600 per student, on par with nearby schools, Leinkauf's high student-teacher ratio of 19-21 students per teacher may be a contributing factor to its struggles.
