Englewood Leadership Academy is a small combined-grade school in Englewood, Colorado, enrolling 110 students.

Class loads run heavy: 22:1 is larger than about 92% of Colorado schools and 33% above the 16.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 31.2% lands close to the Colorado typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 110 puts it in the smaller third of Colorado schools by headcount.
