Summary:
Zip code 58346 has two small schools—Leeds Elementary School, serving pre-K through grade 8, and Leeds High School, serving grades 9–12—with 126 students combined; the clearest current finding is that Leeds Elementary’s reported proficiency is above North Dakota’s in math, reading, and science.
Leeds Elementary stands out in the available 2025–2026 test results, especially in reading and science: its all-grades results are 75–83% in reading versus 57% statewide, and 50–69% in science versus 39% statewide; math is 60–68% versus 54%. Fourth-grade results are particularly strong, at least 90% in math compared with 58% statewide, and at least 80% in science compared with 40%. Leeds High has no test results listed, so the data cannot identify a lowest-performing school or establish which school performs better overall.
Results shifted differently by subject: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the state’s math result rose 13 points while Leeds Elementary’s fell from 69% to 60–68%, narrowing its state lead from 28 points to 6–14 points; reading improved at both, and the school’s lead remained in a similar range; science’s lead widened from 6.5 points to 11–30 points. SchoolDigger rankings also rose: Leeds Elementary moved from 39th of 217 in 2023–2024 to 1st of 216 in 2024–2025 and 2nd of 216 in 2025–2026, while Leeds High ranked 4th of 118 in 2020–2021 after ranking 94th of 117 in each of the prior two years. As context, in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 29% at Leeds Elementary and 30% at Leeds High; student-teacher ratios were 7.2 and 6.1, and each school spent $18,241 per student. Leeds High reported 100% graduation in 2021–2022, but the state’s 87% figure is from 2025–2026, so those rates are not a same-year comparison.
