Minnequa Elementary School also performs well, ranking 435 out of 943 Colorado elementary schools and having the highest proficiency rates among the elementary schools in the data set. In contrast, Pueblo Charter School for the Arts & Sciences has a low statewide ranking but stands out for its high student-teacher ratio and percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients.
The schools in the 81004 zip code area face significant challenges, with high percentages of Hispanic and low-income students, as well as generally lower test scores compared to state averages. The data reveals a concerning gap between the performance of Corwin International Magnet School and the other schools, suggesting that the specialized focus and school choice model of this magnet school may be contributing to its relative success. Overall, the underperformance of the schools in this area points to systemic issues within the Pueblo School District No. 60 that need to be addressed.
