Summary:

ZIP code 01053 covers the village of Leeds in Massachusetts and contains exactly one listed school: Leeds, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 253 students, located at 20 Florence Street and part of the Northampton district. With only one school in the area, there are no local middle, high, or alternative schools to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the Northampton district and the state.

Science is the clear strength. In 2025–2026, Leeds had 64.10% of students proficient in science, compared with 52.38% in the district and 40.98% statewide — more than 23 points above the state. English Language Arts is also consistently strong at 51.35% proficient, versus 48.31% in the district and 40.03% statewide, with every tested grade above both benchmarks and 5th grade leading at 56.41%. Math is the most uneven subject: overall 41.28%, essentially matching the state (41.11%) and slightly above the district. Grade by grade, 3rd grade math (36.84%) falls below the state, 4th grade (50.00%) is above the state but just below the district, and 5th grade (38.46%) is slightly below the state yet above the district.

Looking at trends, Leeds improved from 370th of 916 schools in 2023–2024 to 320th of 899 in 2025–2026, moving from the 60th to the 64th percentile while holding a 3-star rating. Its student-teacher ratio was 9.1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $18,287 in 2020–2021 — a figure several years older than the current test results, so it should not be read as a current resource measure. The free/reduced lunch percentage for 2024–2025 is blank, meaning that economic context is not available here. Keep in mind that with only 253 students, grade-level percentages can shift noticeably from year to year.
