Leonard Lawrence Elementary generally performs better than the Bellevue Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska on standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 3rd grade ELA (62.5% vs 58.59% and 57.45%), 6th grade ELA (75% vs 63.35% and 58.64%), and 6th grade Math (70.83% vs 59.31% and 56.08%). However, the school has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 22.9% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Bellevue Public Schools district, Leonard Lawrence Elementary generally performs better on test scores, especially in math. The school also spends more per student ($14,402 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, which may be contributing to its relatively strong academic performance. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates and some variability in subgroup performance are areas that could be addressed.

I am beyond thankful for the teachers and staff at Leonard Lawrence Elem. I attended Leonard Lawrence as a child. As an adult, I moved to another state and recently moved back. My kiddo now attends as well. The staff has made the school transition seamless--so friendly, willing to help, just a great group of caring people. The teachers in Summer School and during the school year are exactly the same.This school was fantastic when I attended in the 80's and is still amazing. With all the limitations imposed on the public school system, Leonard Lawrence has done an outstanding job during constant change. I am proud to say my child attends. A huge thank you to Leonard Lawrence for making a difference in our children. Close Quote
