Summary:
Zip code 80113 has two elementary schools—Charles Hay World School and Cherrelyn Elementary School—both serving grades K-6 in Englewood, Colorado. Both schools are part of Englewood School District No. 1, which ranks 78th out of 115 districts statewide (32nd percentile, 2 stars), indicating below-average district performance. The schools serve an economically diverse area, with more than half of students eligible for free/reduced lunch.
Charles Hay World School is the clear standout, ranking 425th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (55th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026 and outperforming the district in every reported subject. Its ELA proficiency of 50.0% exceeds the state average of 44.7%, and its Math proficiency of 37.0% matches the state average of 37.3%—notable given that 52.8% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Cherrelyn Elementary School, by contrast, ranks 745th out of 943 (21st percentile, 1 star), with proficiency rates of 28.9% in ELA and 21.8% in Math, roughly 16 points below the state in both subjects. Charles Hay’s ELA proficiency is 21.1 percentage points higher than Cherrelyn’s, and its Math proficiency is 15.2 points higher—a dramatic gap between two schools in the same district and community.
Chronic absenteeism is a key differentiator: Charles Hay’s rate of 27.7% is slightly better than the state average of 28.4%, while Cherrelyn’s 37.1% is well above it. The schools’ ranks are also moving in opposite directions, with Charles Hay improving from the 45th percentile (2023-2024) to the 55th (2025-2026), while Cherrelyn dropped from the 36th to the 21st percentile. Cherrelyn also has a higher poverty rate (61.2% free/reduced lunch versus 52.8%) and a larger student-teacher ratio (14.0 versus 11.9). At Charles Hay, proficiency declines in upper grades—ELA falls from 55.6% in 3rd grade to 35.5% in 6th grade, and Math from 44.4% to 32.3%—suggesting intermediate-grade support is an area to watch as students approach middle school.
