Summary:
Leeds, Massachusetts is a small village within the city of Northampton that is served by exactly one public school — Leeds Elementary, an elementary school enrolling 253 students in grades PK–5, with no middle, high, or alternative schools in the area; after grade 5, students move on to Northampton's middle and high schools, which sit outside this data set.
Science is this school's clear strength. In 2025-26, 64.1% of students were proficient or above in science, compared with 52.38% for the district and 40.98% for the state — a margin of more than 23 points over the state and the largest gap anywhere in the data. English Language Arts is also consistently strong, with 51.35% proficient across all grades versus 48.31% district-wide and 40.03% statewide. ELA results improve as students get older: grade 3 sits at 50%, grade 4 at 47.06%, and grade 5 at 56.41%. Every grade level in ELA beats both the district and the state. All told, the school outperforms its district in 8 of the 10 reported school-versus-district comparisons for 2025-26.
Math is the one area that tracks the state rather than exceeding it: 41.28% proficient versus the state's 41.11%. Grades 3 (36.84%) and 5 (38.46%) fall below their state math averages, so math is the clearest place for improvement. Trends overall are positive — the school climbed from a statewide rank of 370 to 347 to 320 across three years, landing in the 64th percentile, slightly above the district's 60th. Resources support these results, with a 9.1:1 student-teacher ratio and $18,287 in per-student spending. One caveat for parents: the free/reduced lunch percentage is unreported, so the student population's economic context is unknown.
