Beulah Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Beulah Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving 307 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60, which is ranked 104 out of 116 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beulah Heights faces significant academic and demographic challenges compared to the state and nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.66%) than the state average, and it consistently performs well below the state and district averages on CMAS assessments for English Language Arts and Math. In 2023-2024, only 9.8% of Beulah Heights students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.1% statewide and 25.8% in the Pueblo School District. The school has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Colorado elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 820 out of 943 schools in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Beulah Heights has an extremely high percentage of students (over 90%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Beulah Heights struggles academically, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Goodnight Elementary and Minnequa Elementary, perform significantly better on CMAS assessments and have higher school rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies may be contributing to the academic challenges at Beulah Heights. The school's low academic performance, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and low school ranking indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the Beulah Heights community.

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.
