Summary

Leman Classical Academy is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Parker, Colorado, serving 1,114 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the highly-ranked Douglas County School District No. Re 1, which is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. However, Leman Classical Academy has received a mixed performance rating, ranging from 3 to 4 stars out of 5 on the SchoolDigger scale over the past several years.

Leman Classical Academy generally performs below the Douglas County School District and the state of Colorado averages in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) assessments for English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 56.9% in ELA, 49.4% in Math, and 43.2% in 5th grade Science, compared to the district's 63.4%, 55.5%, and 58.1% respectively, and the state's 44.8%, 35.9%, and 39%. The school's performance is particularly low in the "Gifted and Talented Students" subgroup, ranking in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools in this category. Additionally, Leman Classical Academy has experienced higher dropout rates and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district average.

Leman Classical Academy's performance is generally lower than the nearby public schools in the Douglas County School District, such as Cherokee Trail Elementary, Gold Rush Elementary, and Northeast Elementary, which consistently outperform Leman in academic assessments and other key metrics. However, Leman Classical Academy's performance is stronger than the nearby Parker Core Knowledge Charter School, which serves a similar grade range and student population.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, January 9, 2020

RUN to this school with open arms!!!!
This is an amazing school with a true family feel. The principal, assistant principal and several staff members greet each child (scholar) personally every morning. It's such a great way for them to start the day, plus it builds a rapport with the between staff and scholars.
They don't have Common Core - yay!!!
They have technology available, but use it as an enhancement, not a daily occurrence.
They partner with parents, believe in family time, no homework on the weekends.
They are a classical school - focusing on history, Latin, and the Socratic method of teaching, which is getting the children to think critically, versus teaching to a test.
I can't say enough great things about the Principal, Dr. Edwards. He is a loving but firm Principal who knows each child, wears crazy hats in driveline and plays a guitalele in the hallways.
PLEASE give your child the best opportunity, not only in education, but in CHARACTER. Every month they focus on a new virtue or character trait and respect is a priority. Close Quote
