Summary

Leinkauf Elementary School in Mobile, AL, serves 542 students in grades PK-5 within the Mobile County school district, where 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Leinkauf is a school on the rise. While its overall state ranking (470th out of 686 Alabama elementary schools) places it in the 31st percentile, this represents a dramatic improvement from a decade ago when it ranked in the bottom 7% of schools. The school's greatest success story is its remarkable reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 36.3% in 2022-2023 to just 11.6% in 2024-2025—now actually below both the district and state averages. This turnaround suggests that targeted interventions and improved family engagement are taking hold. Leinkauf also shows exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, ranking in the 63rd percentile statewide for African American students and an impressive 7th out of 30 schools for homeless students. In 5th grade mathematics, Leinkauf students achieved a 49.23% proficiency rate, significantly outpacing both the district (34.06%) and state (39.06%) averages.

Parents should be aware of the stark contrasts in this area. Within a 3-mile radius, magnet schools like EicholdMertz School of Math and Science, Old Shell Road Magnet School, and W H Council Traditional School rank in the top 2% statewide with 5-star ratings, while Leinkauf and nearby neighborhood schools like Erwin Craighead Elementary School (just 0.81 miles away) serve similar demographics but with far lower overall performance. Leinkauf outperforms Erwin Craighead in nearly every subject despite having a higher percentage of low-income students. The school's main academic challenge is 4th grade science, where only 21.78% of students are proficient compared to the district's 45.84%. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.8 and continued improvement momentum, Leinkauf appears to be implementing strategies that are working for its specific student population.
