Eva R Baca Elementary School

Summary:

Eva R Baca Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving 236 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.

Eva R Baca Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools and performing well below state and district averages on standardized tests. In 2023-2024, only 23.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 44.1% statewide and 25.8% in the Pueblo School District. The school's performance is particularly low in science, with only 13.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to 37.9% statewide and 18.5% in the district. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.4 to 14.2 over the past three years, which may indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

Compared to nearby schools in the Pueblo School District No. 60, such as Pueblo School for Arts & Sciences at Fulton Height, Franklin School of Innovation, and Park View Elementary School, Eva R Baca Elementary School performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates on standardized tests. However, these nearby schools also serve similarly economically disadvantaged populations, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The nearby Fountain International Magnet School, which is in a different district, stands out as a high-performing school, suggesting that with the right strategies and resources, it may be possible for schools like Eva R Baca Elementary to improve their academic performance.

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.
