McClave Elementary School consistently performs well above the state average in CMAS assessments, with 61.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67.3% proficient or better in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.8% and 35.9%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 14.2 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby Lamar School District schools. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 4.7% in 2021-2022 to 27.7% in 2023-2024, though it still performs better than the nearby Alta Vista Charter School and Lamar School District schools, which all had 27.7% chronic absenteeism in 2023-2024.

The school serves a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.74% to 47.62% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average. This suggests the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, and the school may need to provide additional support and resources to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. Overall, McClave Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school within its district and the state of Colorado, with a focus on addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
