Summary

Pueblo Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Yuma, Arizona, with 577 students. It is part of the Crane Elementary District, which is ranked 191 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pueblo Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Pueblo's 5th grade science proficiency was 26% compared to the district's 30% and the state's 34%. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Arizona schools for Asian, Native American, and Multi-racial students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students. With 77.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, Pueblo Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby higher-performing schools like Gowan Science Academy and Desert View Academy, the stark contrasts in academic metrics highlight the challenges Pueblo Elementary faces. The school's performance has also been inconsistent over the years, suggesting difficulties in implementing sustainable improvements. While Pueblo Elementary spends more per student ($10,064 in 2021-2022) compared to the state average, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation and utilization.
