Summary

Banning Lewis Ranch Academy is a large K-12 alternative school in Colorado Springs, CO, serving 1,697 students as part of El Paso County Colorado School District 49, which ranks in the top third of Colorado districts. With a student-teacher ratio of about 14.6:1 and a free/reduced lunch rate of 15.5% — low compared to most nearby alternative schools, though rising from 7.8% two years ago — Banning Lewis Ranch Academy stands out as a high-capacity school within a district that has historically struggled with graduation and dropout rates.

The school's most dramatic differentiator is its graduation and retention record. Banning reported a 92.2% graduation rate in 2021-2022, compared to the district's 55.6%, and a dropout rate of just 0.1% versus the district's 9.0%. Chronic absenteeism is also well below district and state averages. Academically, reading and writing are clear strengths: SAT Reading/Writing proficiency was 70% versus a 40% district average, and PSAT9 reading/writing reached 78%, outpacing the state by 12 points. Science is another standout, with 11th-grade CMAS science proficiency at 28.7% — nearly double the district's 14.7% and above the state's 24.8%. Compared to nearby Colorado Military Academy, Banning outperforms it in nearly every measured academic category, while its large enrollment far exceeds peer alternative schools like Liberty Tree Academy and Thomas MacLaren State Charter School.

Math is the one relative weakness. CMAS math proficiency was 35% versus the state's 37.3%, and SAT math was 28% versus 32% statewide — though still well above the district's 11%. While Banning serves a more economically advantaged population than nearby alternatives, its free/reduced lunch rate has doubled in two years, which is worth monitoring. Overall, for families in the eastern Colorado Springs corridor, Banning Lewis Ranch Academy offers a strong combination of literacy and science outcomes, excellent retention, and solid attendance at a scale few alternative schools can match.

This school is set up to provide a good path to college. The building is nice and clean and the classroom size is small. This enables the teachers to provide more one on one instruction. My son is happy here and learning a lot. Close Quote

My oldest child has gone here since the doors opened in 2006. He has had, what I believe to be, a wonderful education. The staff truly cares about the kids and it shows. Any issues we've had over the years were always heard and handled well. We're sad that my oldest will be leaving the BLRA family to go to high school, but his little brother will continue to attend. I'd recommend this school to anyone looking to provide a quality education to their child while having an active role in that education. Close Quote

This school focuses on the student and helping them to succeed in all their classes. The teachers are very professional and are more than willing to help their students. Our daughter's lowest mark was a 93% in English, and they were looking for ways to help her improve! This school is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone. Close Quote

I don't recommend this school at all. My son became very depressed and fell behind while at this school. Close Quote
