Clayton Partnership School

Summary:

Clayton Partnership School is a K-8 elementary school in Thornton, Colorado, serving a predominantly Hispanic student population of over 800 students. The school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools in recent years.

Clayton Partnership School faces significant academic challenges, with only 22.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 13.7% proficient or better in Math on the 2023-2024 CMAS tests, compared to state averages of 44.1% and 34.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for female and Hispanic students, who make up the majority of the student body. Additionally, over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While nearby schools in the Mapleton School District also struggle academically, Clayton Partnership School generally performs worse, especially in Math.

The school's declining performance over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 579 out of 965 Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 792 out of 943 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. Factors such as the school's high percentage of Hispanic students and low student-teacher ratio of 17.2 may be contributing to the academic challenges, and the school will need to work closely with the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district to develop effective solutions.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
