Summary

McClave Elementary School is a small rural school in Mc Clave, Colorado, serving 126 students in grades PK through 6 within the McClave School District No. Re-2 — a district ranked 7th out of 115 in the state. The school itself currently earns 4 stars and ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, with recent history even stronger: top-15-percentile finishes in both 2024-2025 and 2021-2022. It is consistently one of the strongest elementary schools in the region, far ahead of schools in the nearby Lamar School District No. Re-2 and Wiley School District No. Re-13 Jt.

Academically, McClave students perform well above state averages. In 2025-2026, 59% of students were proficient in English Language Arts versus 44.7% statewide, and 57.4% were proficient in math versus 37.3% statewide. Fifth-grade science results are a standout at 73.7% proficiency — nearly double the state rate of 39%. Perhaps the school's signature is its growth pattern: 3rd graders score near state averages, but by 6th grade, McClave students reach 68.8% proficiency in both ELA and math, with math proficiency more than double the statewide rate. This suggests strong, consistent instruction that adds real value as students move through the grades.

Attendance and stability are also impressive. McClave's chronic absenteeism rate of 5.5% is roughly five times lower than the state average of 28.4% and dramatically lower than Washington Elementary School's 42.9%. Compared to nearby schools, McClave leads in academic performance — its math proficiency is nearly seven times higher than Parkview Elementary School's 8.5%. With 42.1% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, McClave has a lower poverty rate than most neighboring schools, and it still posts higher test scores than similar-poverty schools like Alta Vista Charter School. While the small enrollment means year-to-year fluctuations are expected, McClave's multi-year pattern of strong academics, excellent attendance, and quality district support makes it a dependable choice for parents in southeastern Colorado.
