Summary

Leeds High School in Leeds, AL, serves 624 students in grades 9-12 within the Leeds City district, and has earned a 4-star rating with a strong statewide rank of 111 out of 380 high schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

Leeds High School stands out for its impressive academic performance compared to nearby schools. While schools like Pinson Valley High School, Center Point High School, and Woodlawn High SchoolMagnet show proficiency rates in the 3-19% range, Leeds posts significantly higher scores in Math (27.92%), Science (40.91%), and English (30.92%). The school also boasts a remarkable 95.2% graduation rate, well above the state average of 91.5% and far exceeding nearby schools like ClayChalkville High School (85.5%) and Woodlawn (75.6%). While it trails elite schools like Mountain Brook High School and HewittTrussville High School, Leeds is competitive with Moody High School and achieves these results with a more diverse socioeconomic student body—nearly 47% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared to just 2.84% at Mountain Brook.

Perhaps most encouraging is the school's clear upward trajectory. After dipping to the 48th percentile in 2022-2023, Leeds has rebounded to the 71st percentile, showing a "V-shaped" recovery that reflects cohesive school-wide improvement. Chronic absenteeism has been cut nearly in half, dropping from 23.4% to 11.7%—now below the state average and far better than neighbors like Clay-Chalkville (30.9%) and Shades Valley High School (23.5%). The school has also made dramatic gains for English Language Learner and Special Education students, with both subgroups jumping from the 1-star range to 3-star ratings. While performance fluctuates between male and female students from year to year, the overall picture is of a school that is effectively supporting its students and building momentum for continued success.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Thursday, February 12, 2015

Leeds high school cares more about appearance and discipline than they do about weather or not the student actually get an education. It is the most unorganized group of people I have ever seen. I feel bad for whoever has to get a diploma from that high school knowing that the past four year have been a waste of time and that they are not prepared for the real world. Close Quote
