Summary:
The seven schools in Leman Academy of Excellence Inc. serve grades K–8 across the Tucson area and Sierra Vista, with enrollments ranging from 73 to 1,167. Their results vary substantially by school: all-grades ELA ranges from 26% to 64%, and mathematics from 30% to 57%. That wide spread is the most important finding for families comparing schools in this network.
Leman Academy of Excellence leads all-grades ELA at 64%, 23 percentage points above Arizona’s 41%, while Leman Academy of Excellence-Oro Valley Arizona leads mathematics at 57%, 24 points above the state’s 33%. At the other end, Leman Virtual Academy has the lowest ELA result, 26%, 15 points below the state; Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson is lowest among nonvirtual schools in both ELA (37%) and math (30%). Leaders also depend on grade: Oro Valley leads reported math results in five of six tested grades, while the main Tucson school leads both reported science grades, including eighth-grade science at 59%, 29 points above the state.
SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking places Oro Valley at the 80th percentile among these schools and Central Tucson at the 47th. For five schools with three consecutive years of ranking data, the average percentile rose from 61 to 65, then eased to 65 in 2025–26; these rankings do not establish a trend in test proficiency. School size and student–teacher ratio do not neatly predict results: Leman Academy of Excellence East Mesa has 128 students and a 7.1 ratio, with 62% ELA and 50% math, while the 73-student Virtual Academy has a 14.6 ratio and 26% ELA. Leman Academy of Excellence East Tucson has 1,157 students and a 13.1 ratio, with 49% ELA. Leman Academy of Excellence-Sierra Vista leads fifth-grade math at 69%. Free/reduced-lunch figures are unavailable, and several suppressed grade-level results cannot be compared.
