Summary

Leman Academy of Excellence serves 1,167 students in grades K–8 in Tucson, Arizona, among a group of nearby in-person schools that vary in size and grade span. Its clearest advantage is English Language Arts (ELA): 64% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 23 percentage points above the state and 10 above the Leman Academy of Excellence Inc. district.

ELA is also a standout locally: Leman tied for the highest all-grades result among the nearby in-person schools, whose average was 49%, and its seventh-grade result of 77% was 17 points above the next nearby K–8 school, Legacy Traditional School - Northwest Tucson. Math was above the state (47% versus 33%) and district (44%), but its nearby advantage was modest: it was 3 points above the local average, and two schools scored higher. Results varied by grade: fifth-grade math was strong at 60%, while eighth-grade math was 43%, 1 point below the district. Science was especially strong in eighth grade, where Leman’s 59% exceeded Twin Peaks K-8 School (54%) and Legacy Traditional (51%). Fifth-grade science was 41%, close to the nearby average of 42%.

Eighth-grade science rebounded from 43% in 2023–24 to 59% in 2024–25, a 16-point rise; fifth-grade science stayed nearly flat at 42%, 42%, then 41%. SchoolDigger ranks Leman at the 72nd statewide percentile, 256th of 900 schools, with four stars; it ranks second among Leman and the nine nearby in-person schools, behind Robert Richardson Elementary School at the 82nd percentile. Leman’s current percentile is 17 points below its 2020–21 peak of 89. Its 12.6 student–teacher ratio is the lowest among those nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well it serves White students ranked at the 27th percentile in 2025–26, 45 points below its overall percentile; its measure for English Language Learner students rose from the 70th percentile in 2020–21 to the 98th in 2022–23. No free/reduced-lunch rates are reported, earlier ELA and math results were not supplied, and only two nearby schools report eighth-grade science results.
