Summary

Leeds Elementary is a public elementary school located in Elkton, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 321 students. The school is part of the Cecil County Public Schools district, which is ranked 16 out of 25 in Maryland and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Leeds Elementary is its consistent academic performance, ranking in the top half of Maryland elementary schools for the past several years. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly strong performance in 3rd grade Mathematics and 5th grade ELA. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been volatile, ranging from 9% to 36.8% over the past few years, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

While Leeds Elementary's low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform relatively well, the school's White students lag behind their peers in the state, suggesting potential equity issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, the school's per-student spending is higher than the nearby schools, but it's unclear if this additional funding is directly translating into improved academic outcomes. Continued focus on addressing attendance challenges, equity gaps, and resource allocation could help Leeds Elementary further improve and better serve its diverse student population.
