Summary

Leland Elementary School serves 175 students in pre-K through eighth grade in Leland, Illinois. Its 2025–2026 results show a mixed picture: students did better in math than the state average, but both tested subjects fell below averages at nearby schools. The key takeaway is that being above the state in math does not mean Leland is keeping pace with its local comparison group.

Math is Leland’s stronger subject against Illinois: 43% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 43% in Leland CUSD 1. ELA proficiency was 50%, below the state’s 56% and equal to the district. Compared with nearby schools, however, Leland was behind the average by 7 points in math and 4 points in ELA; it ranked eighth in ELA and seventh in math among the 11-school comparison. In third-grade ELA, its 57% was behind Newark Elementary School and Indian Creek Elementary School, while its seventh-grade math result of 56% was higher than Earlville Elementary School’s 40%. All-grades comparisons involve schools serving different grade spans.

Results have improved overall since 2023–2024, but both subjects declined in the latest year: ELA rose 11 points over the period before dropping 5 points in 2025–2026; math gained 13 points overall, then fell 6 points. Leland’s statewide SchoolDigger ranking was at the 50th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 63rd percentile the year before; it is tied for the lowest current percentile among nearby schools with reported rankings. Its student-teacher ratio was 9.9 in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 12.5. In that same school year, 38% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 39% average among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking for White Students rose from the 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 48th in 2024–2025, though it remained below the school’s overall 63rd percentile that year.
