Summary:
Leland CUSD 1 is a small school district in Illinois that contains only one elementary school, Leland Elementary School. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and is the sole educational option for families in the Leland area. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has shown some strengths, particularly in science proficiency and select grade levels.
Leland Elementary School's statewide ranking has ranged from 896 out of 2,082 Illinois elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,059 out of 2,077 in 2022-2023, indicating inconsistent performance. However, the school has outperformed the state average in 8th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the Illinois Science Assessment, are above the state average for both 5th and 8th grade students.
Despite these pockets of excellence, Leland Elementary School's overall academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally below the state averages. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it may have access to more resources compared to other schools in the state, but this has not yet translated to consistently higher academic achievement. The school also serves a population with a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its performance.
