Summary:
Lemmon Elementary - 02 is the only elementary school in Lemmon School District 52-4, serving kindergarten through grade 5, with 139 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 62% in English language arts (ELA) and 51% in math, compared with 49% and 44% statewide. The school was ahead of the state by 12 points in ELA and 7 points in math. The most important finding is that the school performed above state averages in both all-grades subjects, especially ELA.
There is no meaningful top-versus-bottom school comparison because this area has just one school. Within its grade-level results, fifth-grade science stands out: 70% were proficient, 28 points above the state’s 41%; this is a fifth-grade result, not an all-grades comparison. Grade 3 and grade 5 were also above state results in both ELA and math. Fourth grade was the exception: its ELA proficiency was 47% versus 48% statewide, and its math was 47% versus 49%. This makes fourth grade the clearest area to watch, despite the school’s favorable all-grades comparisons.
Results over time show gains in ELA and fifth-grade science, but a slight decline in math. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the school’s ELA proficiency rose 6 points, while the state’s fell 2 points, widening the school’s state advantage by 8 points. Math declined by 1 point, and the school’s advantage over the state narrowed by 2 points. Fifth-grade science rose 24 points to 70%, and its advantage over the state widened by 23 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile increased from 56 in 2023–24 to 69 in 2025–26; its 2025–26 rank was 63 of 203. As context, 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 12.6 that year. Chronic absenteeism was 7% in 2025–26, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 20%.
