Summary:

Englewood School District No. 1 is a small, diverse Colorado district of 8 schools — 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools — serving 2,148 students in the Englewood area, with a 2-star district rating that places it in the 32nd percentile statewide. The district faces significant challenges, including a 64% free/reduced lunch rate, 40.4% chronic absenteeism (well above the state's 28.4%), and CMAS proficiency rates that trail Colorado averages in both English Language Arts (31% vs. 44.7%) and math (26.7% vs. 37.3%).

Despite these hurdles, there are clear bright spots. Charles Hay World School is the district's strongest traditional elementary school, ranking in the 55th percentile with 50% ELA and 37% math proficiency — the only elementary school in the district to meet or exceed state averages in core subjects. Englewood Leadership Academy is the highest-performing middle-level school, with a 76th-percentile ranking, 55.1% ELA proficiency, and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 23.6%. At the high school level, Englewood High School leads with a 79.3% graduation rate and 29.4% science proficiency, far surpassing Colorado's Finest High School of Choice, which graduates just 42.7% of students and carries a 63.7% chronic absenteeism rate.

However, the district is deeply uneven. Elementary ELA proficiency ranges from 14.4% at Wm E Bishop Elementary to 50% at Charles Hay, and grade-level data reveals dramatic swings — Bishop's 6th-grade math hits 52.2% while its 4th-grade math is just 11.1%. Cherrelyn Elementary has slipped to the 21st percentile, while Clayton Elementary has climbed to the 42nd. Englewood Middle School improved to the 25th percentile but still trails the district's bright spots. The biggest opportunities for district-wide improvement lie in reducing chronic absenteeism and replicating the instructional and school-culture strategies of Charles Hay and Englewood Leadership Academy, which prove that strong outcomes are possible even in a high-poverty context.
