Sky View Middle School

Summary:

Sky View Middle School is a public middle school located in Pueblo West, Colorado, serving 577 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Pueblo County School District 70.

Sky View Middle School has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White (54.42%) and Hispanic (37.44%) students compared to surrounding schools. The school has consistently ranked in the middle range of Colorado middle schools over the past 10 years, typically between 164 to 314 out of around 400-500 schools, and maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school performs particularly well for its Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) student groups, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of Colorado middle schools respectively, its performance for White and disabled students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 25% and bottom 10% respectively.

Academically, Sky View Middle School's performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is generally on par with or slightly above the Pueblo County School District 70 average, but below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels. The school's strongest performance is in 7th grade English Language Arts, where it exceeds both the district and state averages. Given the proximity and similar district affiliations of nearby schools like Pleasant View Middle School and The Connect Charter School, which have demonstrated stronger academic performance in certain areas, there may be opportunities for Sky View Middle School to collaborate and share best practices.

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 Horrible school. This review is lengthy but I hope all parents will take time to review it. We have tried to work with the staff however all efforts were ignored or refused. Teachers are exceptionally rude. Front office staff is a joke. Once while picking up our student the secretary was painting her nails. One teacher is allowing students to buy grades by bringing in school supplies. When we voiced concern over this practice the local school board allows and endorsed it. She assigned a play for a science class with 2 days notice to provide a required costume in order for students to get full points. She assigned a project to create a website with student's photos without parent permission. Websites if not properly done can expose students to extreme danger on the web. Another teacher had to be threatened with sexual harassment charges to get him to stop using the term "BABY" to the students. The school also failed to complete required literacy testing for our students IEP and special education program and set appropriate goals. She was called out on dress code in front of other classmates. She was wearing shorts longer than her fingertips and the front office staff insisted she prove it. The handicap front door was non-functioning for over three months. The door didn't even have a motor on it. District stated it would be fixed April 24, 2015. It took an additional three weeks to get it fixed. The parent pick up area is a safety hazard. Parents are allowed to load in "no student loading" areas. The crossing guard allows parents to load students in the middle of traffic lanes. The school staff are public servants paid for by our tax dollars and should have to be accountable for our children's education and safety! We need to stand up and let them know that issues like this are not ok. This school year has been so bad we have removed her from this school and registered her at another school. 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.
