Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson, a charter school, has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking but generally maintains above-average test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, schools like W V Whitmore Elementary and Davidson Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates often below 20% in core subjects.
