Liberty Point Elementary School

Summary:

Liberty Point Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pueblo West, Colorado, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 446. The school is part of the Pueblo County School District 70, which is ranked 57 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Liberty Point has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (48.21%) and African American (2.69%) students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This is lower than the nearby Cedar Ridge Elementary and Swallows Charter Academy, which have 3-star ratings. Liberty Point's proficiency rates in CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Math and Science, with only 29.8% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 34.2% statewide.

The school's high percentage of students (around 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. While Liberty Point's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 31st out of 197 Colorado elementary schools in 2022-2023, the school's White students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools. The school's overall ranking and performance on CMAS tests have declined over the years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes.

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.

Open Quote The Principal allows her staff to discriminate against students (single them out). A few of the teachers will try to fail the student as apposed to help them succeed. There is little communication with parents about students and they don't listen to the actual problems expressed. If you have issues, you are better off raising them with the district school board, the state school board, or through an attorney. Close Quote

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.
