Summary

Leman Classical Academy is a large K-8 school in Parker, Colorado, enrolling 1,390 students within the highly rated Douglas County School District RE‑1, where it holds a 3-star rating and ranks 296th out of 943 elementary and middle schools statewide (69th percentile).

Academically, Leman sits below district averages in most subjects, with ELA proficiency at 55.7% versus the district's 63.8% and math at 53.5% versus 57.2%. However, the school shows a compelling upward trend in math: proficiency climbs from 55.4% in 3rd grade to an impressive 69.8% in 8th grade, far exceeding the district's 57.1% in that grade. Eighth grade science also nearly matches the district average (52.8% vs. 54.1%). The school's subgroup data tells a striking story—Hispanic students rank in the 88th percentile statewide and low-income students in the 84th percentile, indicating strong outcomes for historically underserved populations. Meanwhile, Gifted and Talented students rank in just the 17th percentile, and White students in the 35th percentile, suggesting the school's approach may lift the floor more than it extends the ceiling for advanced learners.

Attendance is a growing concern: chronic absenteeism jumped from 13.3% to 18.9% in a single year, even as the district average declined. The share of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch has also more than doubled over two years, from 5.9% to 14.2%, signaling a school in transition. Families weighing options may want to compare Leman with Parker Core Knowledge, a nearby K-8 classical academy with dramatically stronger results (89.8% ELA, 85.2% math), smaller class sizes (15.6 vs. Leman's 20.1 student-teacher ratio), and far lower absenteeism (4.2%). Leman's size and high student-teacher ratio are worth considering for families seeking close individualized attention.

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
