Summary

Clyde Miller K-8 is a PK-8 school in Aurora, CO, serving 466 students in the Aurora Joint District No. 28, a district that rates in the bottom 8th percentile statewide. The school holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 14th percentile of Colorado schools, with proficiency rates in ELA (25.8%) and math (19.5%) that mirror the district average but trail state averages by roughly 18-20 points. Like many nearby schools, Clyde Miller serves a high-poverty population — 88.2% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Despite the low overall ratings, Clyde Miller has genuine strengths. Its most notable is 8th grade math: 31.7% proficiency, well above the district’s 25.1% and dramatically higher than other K-8 schools like Edna and John W. Mosley P-8 (21.0%) and Omar D Blair Charter School (21.7%). Attendance is also a relative bright spot. The chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9% is nearly 8 points better than the district average (38.9%) and beats most nearby schools, including Altura Elementary School (43.7%), Laredo Elementary School (41.0%), and SOAR at Green Valley Ranch (41.6%). The 7/8 grade dropout rate is just 0.8%, compared to 3.0% district-wide.

The biggest concerns are resources and uneven progress. The student-teacher ratio jumped to 21.1 in 2024-25, the highest among nearby comparison schools and up sharply from 15.4 a year earlier. Math proficiency has improved over time — from 16.4% in 2022-23 to 19.5% in 2025-26 — but that growth hasn’t reached all groups equally; rankings for Hispanic and male students have dropped substantially. Elementary-grade scores remain well below state averages, and 8th grade science has been volatile, swinging from 28.2% in 2023-24 to 10.0% in 2025-26. Still, Clyde Miller outpaces the weakest nearby schools and trails only a few, like Elkhart Elementary School (25.9% ELA) and KIPP Northeast Elementary (34.7% ELA). The school’s future improvement likely depends on preserving its middle-grades momentum, strengthening early-elementary instruction, and addressing larger class sizes.

Open Quote This school is a joke. They practice lining up for recess and use most of their recess time to practice lining up. My child is in middle school. If a student drops an item while lining up, too bad you owe recess. This school is a joke. You cannot complain or else they take it out on your student and watch their every move to see how they can get your student in trouble. These people are running a circus. As soon as I can I am moving my kid from this school. Worst school ever. Close Quote
