Summary:
The 81069 zip code area is home to two schools - Rye Elementary School and Rye High School, both part of the Pueblo County School District 70. While the elementary school stands out for its strong academic performance, the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Rye Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school, with students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages on CMAS English Language Arts and Math assessments. This suggests the school is providing a quality education for its 315 students. In contrast, while Rye High School students generally score above the district and state averages on the SAT, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 124th out of 210 Colorado high schools in 2020-2021 to 138th out of 349 in 2022-2023, indicating a need to further investigate the factors contributing to this trend.
The data also reveals some interesting differences between the two schools. Rye Elementary School has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 50.48% compared to 43.61% at Rye High School, suggesting more students from lower-income families attend the elementary school. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of students from other racial/ethnic backgrounds, which may be an area for the district to explore and address.
