Elementary Schools in Pueblo School District No. 60

Summary:

The Pueblo School District No. 60 in Colorado is home to 20 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages in academic proficiency. However, a few standout schools, such as Minnequa Elementary School and Haaff Elementary School, demonstrate that high-quality education is possible within the district.

The top-performing schools in the Pueblo School District No. 60 have proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are nearly double the district average, with Fountain International Magnet School also earning a rare 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the majority of schools struggle, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and statewide rankings in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools.

The data reveals significant achievement gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, suggesting that students in the district have vastly different educational experiences depending on which school they attend. Addressing these disparities and learning from the successful schools could be key to improving outcomes for all students in the Pueblo School District No. 60.
