Summary

Clayton Elementary School is a K-6 school in Englewood, Colorado, serving 402 students in the Englewood School District No. 1, a district ranked in the bottom third of Colorado. The school serves a largely low-income population, with 64.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, Clayton is one of the stronger elementary schools in its district: 37.2% of students are proficient in English Language Arts and 31.5% in math, compared to district averages of 31.0% and 26.7%. Statewide, however, Clayton remains below average, with proficiency rates trailing Colorado's 44.7% ELA and 37.3% math averages.

Clayton has shown meaningful academic improvement recently. After dropping to the 28th percentile statewide in 2023–2024, the school rebounded to the 42nd percentile in 2025–2026 with a 2-star rating. Math proficiency nearly doubled from its 2023–2024 low of 19.2% to 31.5%, and ELA rose from 32% to 37.2%. The 4th grade class is a particular strength: 4th grade ELA proficiency (46.6%) nearly matches the state average, and 4th grade math (39.7%) exceeds it. Science is a concern, with only 18.9% of 5th graders proficient versus 36.1% statewide. Subgroup data shows male, Hispanic, and low-income students all perform near the school's overall percentile, while female students lag at the 27th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism at Clayton is 35.2%, notably better than the Englewood district average of 40.4% but well above the state's 28.4%. Among nearby schools, Cherrelyn Elementary (37.1%) and Wm E Bishop Elementary (46.1%) have higher rates, while Cherry Hills Village Elementary sits at just 7.0%. Within its district, Clayton trails Charles Hay World School (50% ELA proficiency) but comfortably leads Wm E Bishop (14.4%). The socioeconomic contrast with Cherry Hills Village — where only 9.78% of students qualify for free lunch compared to Clayton's 64.18% — helps explain much of the academic gap between the two schools.
