Summary:

Nettie S Freed K-8 Expeditionary School is a public elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving grades K-6 and part of the Pueblo School District No. 60, which is ranked 104 out of 116 districts in the state. With around 300 students, the school's overall academic performance on state assessments is below the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grades and in math.

While the school's Hispanic students perform better than the overall student population, ranking in the top 33% of Colorado elementary schools for English Language Arts, the school's White students rank in the bottom 25%. Compared to nearby schools in the Pueblo district, such as Bessemer Elementary, Franklin School of Innovation, and Belmont Elementary, Nettie S Freed K-8 Expeditionary School generally outperforms them on state assessments. However, the nearby Haaff Elementary School significantly outperforms Nettie S Freed, ranking in the top 35% of Colorado elementary schools.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high-poverty student population, and the need to address equity and ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities. Targeted interventions and instructional strategies to improve student learning outcomes, particularly in the lower grades and in math, could be an area of focus for the school's improvement efforts.

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.
