The 60531 zip code area is home to two schools - Leland Elementary School and Leland High School, both part of the Leland CUSD 1 district. While the elementary school maintains consistent academic excellence, the high school has shown remarkable improvement, rising from the 475th position to the 113th position out of 698 Illinois high schools in just one year.
Leland Elementary School has demonstrated strong performance, with proficiency rates in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics for all grades exceeding the state averages in 2024-2025. Particularly noteworthy are the 8th-grade ELA and 3rd-grade Math scores, which were significantly higher than the Illinois state averages. This consistent high performance indicates a stable and effective educational program at the elementary level.
On the other hand, Leland High School has made significant strides, jumping from the 475th position to the 113th position out of 698 Illinois high schools in just one year. This remarkable improvement, coupled with the school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that Leland High School has implemented effective strategies to enhance its academic performance and overall quality. However, both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may require targeted interventions to ensure consistent student engagement and learning.
