Summary

Leman Academy of Excellence East Tucson is a K–8 school in Tucson, Arizona, serving 1,157 students. Its latest all-grades results show stronger performance in English Language Arts (ELA) than in mathematics: 49% of students were proficient in ELA and 40% in math. The most important finding for families is that both results were above the state average, but below the school’s own district.

ELA is the school’s clearest strength compared with nearby schools: its 49% proficiency rate was the highest among nearby schools with reported results and well above their average of 35%. It was 8 percentage points above the state’s 41%, though 5 points below the district’s 54%. Math was also above the state (40% versus 33%), but the local lead was smaller: the result was second to Soleng Tom Elementary School at 44% and above the nearby-school average of 32%; it remained 4 points below the district’s 44%. Science results differ by grade: fifth-grade proficiency was 23%, below the state’s 34% and the district’s 33%, while eighth grade was 34%, above the state’s 30% but below the district’s 37%.

SchoolDigger ranked Leman at the 60th statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, up 10 points from its 2023–24 low of 50 but still 16 points below its 2020–21 ranking of 76. It tied Soleng Tom Elementary School among nearby schools with current rank histories. SchoolDigger’s group-specific effectiveness rankings were notably higher for Low Socio Economic Status students—80th percentile in 2024–25, compared with 58 overall—and lower for White students—16th percentile in 2025–26, compared with 60 overall. Leman’s student-teacher ratio was 13.1, around the middle of the nearby group despite its being the largest nearby school; free/reduced-lunch rates are unavailable for comparison.
