Summary

Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy is a PK-5 elementary school in Aurora, CO, serving 282 students as part of Aurora Joint District No. 28. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 74.1% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.8. Despite its district being ranked in the bottom 8% of Colorado districts, Clara Brown posts proficiency rates that exceed district averages in every tested subject: 30.2% vs. 26.1% in ELA, 21.8% vs. 20.5% in math, and 22.5% vs. 17.7% in 5th grade science.

Clara Brown is the clear academic outperformer among non-selective elementary schools in its immediate area. In 2025-2026, its ELA proficiency (30.2%) was roughly double to triple that of nearby schools like Tollgate Elementary School of Expeditionary Learning (13.6%), AXL Academy (18.0%), Del Mar Academy (8.8%), and Virginia Court Elementary School (9.9%). Math scores (21.8%) similarly outpaced Village East Community Elementary School (11.6%) and Highline Community Elementary School (18.1%). The school has climbed from the 2nd percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 25th percentile in 2025-2026, holding that improved position for three consecutive years.

Attendance is a major bright spot. Clara Brown's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8% is far better than the district's 38.9% and roughly half the rate of nearby schools like Tollgate Elementary School of Expeditionary Learning (44.9%) and Del Mar Academy (54.0%). Only Aurora Quest K-8, a highly selective magnet school sharing the same address, posts better attendance. This attendance advantage, combined with small class sizes and strong academic outcomes for a high-poverty student body, makes Clara Brown a solid choice for Aurora families — a school producing meaningful results for its students.
