Summary:
ZIP code 46538 in northern Indiana is home to just one public school — Leesburg Elementary School, serving grades PK–6 with 567 students as part of Warsaw Community Schools — so parents here have a single local option and should judge it mainly against its district and the state.
Leesburg Elementary's most striking strength is attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate in 2024–2025 was 3.7%, compared with 9.7% for Warsaw Community Schools and 16.7% statewide. The school is also on a clear upward trajectory, moving from 532 of 1,011 schools (47th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 496 of 1,005 (51st percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025 and 415 of 1,015 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. Subject-level bright spots include 6th grade English Language Arts at 57.47% (district 49.03%, state 41.3%), 5th grade Social Studies at 57.32% (district 52.82%, state 47.2%), and all-grade science, which jumped from 31.9% to 42% in a single year, nearly closing its gap with the district.
Math is the clearest area for improvement. All-grade math proficiency was 40% in 2025–2026, below the district's 44.33%, with 6th grade math at 28.74% (district 39.19%, state 40.2%) and 3rd grade math at 37.35% (district 45.29%, state 51.9%). Fourth grade ELA was another soft spot at 38.1%, below both district and state. By contrast, all-grade ELA rose from 41.48% to 46.98%, moving above the district average. For context, 56.26% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending was $10,190 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.5 — and despite those factors, attendance is exceptionally strong and several subjects outperform district or state benchmarks.
