Pueblo County School District 70

The Pueblo County School District 70 in Colorado comprises 27 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving a diverse student population across a range of socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district are Swallows Charter Academy High School, which ranks 89 out of 349 Colorado high schools and is rated 4 stars, with strong test scores; The Connect Charter School, a 5-star middle school with exceptional performance on state assessments; and Rye High School, which ranks 159 out of 349 Colorado high schools and has solid academic results. Additionally, Cedar Ridge Elementary School stands out with impressive test scores in math and English language arts.

However, the district also has a mix of lower-performing schools, with some, like Avondale Elementary School and 70 Online, struggling with proficiency rates below the district and state averages. This suggests a need to address the achievement gap and support the district's lower-performing schools to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
