Summary

Montclair School of Academics and Enrichment is a PK–5 elementary school in Denver’s School District No. 1, enrolling 353 students and serving a predominantly low-income community where roughly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school currently ranks at the 17th percentile statewide, well below the district, which places in the 38th percentile among Colorado districts.

Academically, Montclair trails both the district and state across all tested subjects. In the most recent year, only about 23.5% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 20.5% in math, compared to state averages of 44.7% and 37.3%. Science proficiency is similarly low at 22.2% versus 36.1% statewide. One of the most pressing concerns is chronic absenteeism: 47.5% of Montclair students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, far above the district rate of 38.1% and the state rate of 28.4%. With nearly half of students missing significant school time, improving attendance could be one of the most impactful strategies for helping students succeed.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Montclair sits within a small geographic area that includes multiple high-performing schools, yet its scores are dramatically lower. Steck Elementary School (1.7 miles away) posts 76.9% ELA and 74.6% math proficiency, Park Hill School has 77.7% ELA and 67% math, and Carson Elementary School has 78% ELA and 67% math. Montclair’s performance is much closer to Lowry Elementary School (20% ELA, 18.4% math) and Ashley Elementary School (10% ELA, 6.5% math), which serve similarly high-poverty populations. Interestingly, Montclair’s class sizes are smaller (14.1 students per teacher) than many higher-performing neighbors, suggesting that poverty and attendance are more influential factors than class size. One encouraging sign: Montclair’s 5th graders substantially outperform its 3rd graders—34.1% versus 14.3% in ELA and 30.4% versus 17% in math—suggesting students build skills as they remain at the school, even though overall proficiency remains below state norms.
