Summary

Lakin Prep Academy serves 366 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Avondale, within the Littleton Elementary District. In 2025–26, 25% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 10% in math. Both results were below district and state rates, and math is the school’s clearest academic concern: proficiency was 7 percentage points below the district and 23 points below the state.

ELA is a relative strength compared with math, but still trails nearby and broader benchmarks. The school’s 25% ELA proficiency was 2 points below the district and 16 points below the state, and below the nearby-schools average of 29%. Math proficiency was 10%, versus a nearby average of 20%; only two of the eight nearby schools with results scored lower: Fine Arts Academy at 9% and Quentin Elementary School at 8%. Results also vary by grade: third-grade ELA was a bright spot at 32%, 6 points above the district and second-highest among nearby schools with results, behind Academy of Math and Science Avondale at 40%. Fourth-grade ELA was the lowest among nearby schools with published results, at 24%; sixth grade was 20%, 8 points below the district.

There is not enough year-to-year information to tell whether the school’s results are improving or declining: the supplied test data cover only 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks the school 794th of 900 statewide, at the 12th percentile and 1 star; among eight nearby schools with percentiles, five rank above it, two below, and one ties. The school enrolls fewer students than nearby non-online schools, which have 713–1,175 students, but its overall results are below nearby averages. Its student–teacher ratio was 13.7 in 2023–24; the only nearby ratio supplied is 24.4 at Academy of Math and Science Avondale in 2024–25, and the school’s free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported.
