Specialized learning
The school is located in one of the poorest areas of Pinellas County, and as of 2006, had over 100 registered sex offenders living within a mile of the school, the most in the district.
It was created to help students that have low FCAT scores or grades to achieve more in education. It has specialized help that is different from normal schools, in that the classes contain only 18 students. This is designed to help students concentrate more on learning than on other people in the class.
Grades
Lealman Intermediate currently provides education for grades 5, 6, 7, 8 and 8.5. 8.5th grade was added in the school year 2007-2008. It is a mixture of 8th and 9th grade which helps students who failed 8th grade, or any other grade, get back on track. In the first half of the school year students repeat 8th grade. Then, they are required to take an exam. Those who pass the exam move to 9th grade for the rest of the year. Students who fail continue to take 8th grade.
Periods
Lealman Intermediate School has eight periods a day. Class lengths are extended compared to a normal school to provide more time to specialise in core subjects such as Mathematics and Reading. 6th, 7th, and 8th grade follow an A day and B day plan. Students are rather assigned a science class or a Social Science/Geography class during one of these days. The plan alternates every day.
Enrichment
Lealman Intermediate has selectives renamed as Enrichments (PE, art, computers and health). During the 2008-2009 school year, Personal Development and Dance enrichments were removed and replaced by another stage of PE. Normally depending on what grade they are in, students tend to take all of these enrichments in one year or take half of them one grade and half of them the next grade. The enrichments are divided into six and twelve week periods.
Clubs
Lealman Intermediate has a program called Clubs. Every semester, students can choose a club (a wider range of selectives). They go to their club for 45 minutes at the end of the day every Wednesday. Students are given a focus test. If they pass, they can go to their clubs. If they fail, they must stay in their classrooms and do tutorials. Tutorials are basically an extended time to help students with what they failed on the test. One week it is reading tutorial and the other, mathematics.
Honor Roll Field Trips
Lealman Intermediate awards honors students with field trips, which last an average of two hours. These field trips are paid by the PTA..
