Summary

Leroy Elementary is a small PK–6 school serving about 120 students in Le Roy, a rural community in southeastern Minnesota, and it is part of Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools. Its latest state ranking is 722nd of 869 Minnesota schools for 2025–2026 (17th percentile, 1 star), a sharp drop from its recent peak of 296th of 869 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2020–2021.

Among nearby elementary schools, Leroy is the smallest and currently the lowest-ranked. Grand Meadow Elementary (172 students, PK–4) ranks 490/869 (44th percentile, 2 stars), Southland Elementary (223 students, PK–5) ranks 367/869 (58th percentile, 3 stars), and Kingsland Elementary School (306 students, PK–6) ranks 308/869 (65th percentile, 3 stars). Districts follow a similar pattern: Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools sits at the 31st percentile, behind Grand Meadow Public School District (51st), Kingsland Public School District (61st), and Southland Public School District (69th). In 2025–2026 all-grade results, Leroy's proficiency was 32.9% in math (state: 44.9%), 25.0% in reading (state: 48.6%), and 11.8% in science (state: 25.5%), while nearby schools reached 51.5–56.6% in math, 43.9–53.3% in reading, and 24.4–27.5% in science.

The gaps are widest in the upper grades: Leroy's 3rd-grade math was 50.0%, but 5th-grade math fell to 11.8% and 6th-grade math to 15.4%, with reading dropping from 30.8% in 3rd grade to 15.4% in 6th grade, while Kingsland performed far higher in those same grades. Leroy's all-grade results have also declined over several years, with science falling from 46.67% in 2022–2023 to 11.8% in 2025–2026. Notably, Leroy's free/reduced lunch rate (40.83%) is close to Kingsland's (40.85%) and below Southland's (44.39%), and its student-teacher ratio (13.2) is similar or lower, so these factors do not fully explain the proficiency gap. Recent subgroup effectiveness rankings are also low. Because the school has small grade cohorts, individual grade-level percentages can swing from year to year, though the multi-year pattern across subjects and grades is consistent.
