Summary

Leeds Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Northampton school district. With 278 students, it is a moderately sized school within the district, but it has received a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools.

One of the key strengths of Leeds Elementary is its consistent academic performance, outperforming both the Northampton district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS proficiency rates across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also stands out for its strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and Special Education students, who rank in the top quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools in their respective categories. However, the school struggles with proficiency rates for Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state.

Compared to other schools in the Northampton district, Leeds Elementary generally outperforms Bridge Street Elementary in academic metrics but lags behind Jackson Street Elementary, which has consistently higher proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking. Outside the Northampton district, schools like Hadley Elementary, Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School, and Anne T. Dunphy School in Williamsburg demonstrate stronger academic performance across the board, suggesting Leeds Elementary could learn from their best practices.
