How Leeds Elementary School compares with North Dakota and U.S. medians
What stands out at Leeds Elementary School
Teacher staffing is the clearest operational strength
Leeds Elementary School's enrollment is not at an extreme, but its student-teacher ratio is: it reports fewer students per teacher than most North Dakota schools. This is the most distinctive scale-adjusted signal in the federal record. It should be read as staffing capacity, not class size or an academic outcome; the page separately reports attendance, program access, demographics, and district finance so a single favorable ratio does not become an unsupported overall rating.
Resource indicators are the standout signal
Leeds Elementary School's economic-need measure is not at a state extreme, while its Resource Investment Index is. The campus outranks most North Dakota schools on the combined reported-resource measure, so the differentiator comes from staffing, counselor access, gifted programming, or attendance rather than from an unusually low-need population alone. The component breakdown identifies which inputs actually produce that placement.
A combined-grade campus has a different support burden
Leeds Elementary School serves a combined grade span rather than a conventional elementary, middle, or high-school band. That structure can require the same campus to cover transitions, counseling needs, and programs for students at substantially different developmental stages, so a single staffing ratio deserves more caution than it would at a narrower-grade school. Federal totals show the available people and programs, but not how those resources are divided among grade levels.
Leeds Elementary School is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Leeds, North Dakota, enrolling 96 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 8:1 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by student-teacher ratio.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 24.0% lands close to the North Dakota typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 96 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 498 scored North Dakota schools.
Against 108 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #39.
Its student body is predominantly White (90% of enrollment) (diversity index 19/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 192 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
10.4% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
Its district, Leeds 6, also runs Leeds High School (30 students).
