Summary

Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy is an elementary school located in Aurora, Colorado, serving 232 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Aurora Joint District No. 28, which is ranked 103 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its proximity to the high-performing Aurora Quest K-8, Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy is struggling across several key metrics. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.2% to 40.1%, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like AXL Academy (27.7%), Tollgate Elementary School (27.7%), and Virginia Court Elementary School (27.7%). Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.59% to 81.35%, may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. While these socioeconomic and attendance-related challenges can have a significant impact on student learning, there appear to be significant opportunities for improvement at Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy. Implementing targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of the student population could help the school provide a more equitable educational experience for its students.
