Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson

Summary:

Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson is a public charter elementary school serving 784 students in grades K-8 in Tucson, Arizona. The school is part of the Leman Academy of Excellence Inc. district, which is ranked 109 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson has consistently outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 51% compared to the state average of 39%. However, the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 341 (2020-2021) and 615 (2022-2023) out of over 1,000 Arizona elementary schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its military-connected students performing particularly well, but its English Language Learners and students with special needs struggling.

Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson is located in close proximity to several other public and charter schools, including Desert Sky Community School, Annie Kellond Elementary School, and Adventure School. This competitive landscape may present both challenges and opportunities for the school in terms of attracting and retaining students. Additionally, the school's higher percentage of Hispanic students and potentially lower free and reduced-price lunch rate compared to nearby traditional public schools may suggest that Leman Academy of Excellence - Central Tucson serves a relatively more affluent student population, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
