Clayton Elementary School

Summary:

Clayton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Englewood, Colorado, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Englewood School District No. 1, which is ranked 75 out of 116 school districts in Colorado and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite having a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of Hispanic and low-income students, Clayton Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 32% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.1% at the state level, and only 19.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 34.2% at the state level. The school's performance in Science is also below the district and state averages, with only 13.7% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 37.9% at the state level. As a result, Clayton Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Wm E Bishop Elementary School, Charles Hay World School, and Cherrelyn Elementary School, also perform below the state averages in ELA and Math, but generally outperform Clayton Elementary School in these areas. Additionally, the school's performance for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is relatively stronger compared to other Colorado elementary schools, suggesting that the school may be providing additional support and resources to these student groups.

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.
