Summary

Leeds Elementary is a PK–5 school with 253 students in the village of Leeds, part of the Northampton district in western Massachusetts. It is a 3-star school in 2025–2026, ranked 320 of 899 schools statewide (64th percentile), and its long-term trend is upward: it moved from the 39th percentile in 2015–2016 into the low 60s recently, with a dip to the 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2022–2023 before recovering.

On 2025–2026 MCAS results, Leeds scored 51.35% proficient in English language arts, above the Northampton district rate of 48.31% and the state rate of 40.03%, with all three tested grades exceeding both. Science is the school's signature strength at 64.10%, well above the district (52.38%) and the state (40.98%) — 23.1 percentage points above the state — and fifth-grade science of 64.10% compares with 43.07% statewide. Math is the clearest relative weakness at 41.28%: above the district but essentially level with the state, and below nearby Jackson Street, Hadley Elementary, William E Norris, and Anne T. Dunphy School, a 5-star, 96th-percentile school with 100% science proficiency.

Among the four Northampton elementary schools compared here, Leeds ranks second overall, ahead of R. K. Finn Ryan Road and far ahead of Bridge Street, and it has the lowest student-teacher ratio of the group at 9.1. Nearby, it is competitive with Hadley, Norris, and Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School and stronger than Hatfield Elementary, Westhampton Elementary School, and Mountain View School. Subgroup results are uneven: Leeds ranks 115 of 709 schools (84th percentile, 4 stars) for special education students, a very strong recent record, while low-income students rank in the lower third statewide (31st percentile in 2025–2026) — the clearest area where its overall profile is stronger than its subgroup profile.
