Pueblo School District No. 60

The Pueblo School District No. 60 in Colorado operates 35 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 105 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the data, including Minnequa Elementary School and Haaff Elementary School, which have the highest performance across many metrics and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The Fountain International Magnet School has also historically been one of the top-performing schools in the district, with a 5-star rating in the past. However, there are significant disparities in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, especially in core subjects like English Language Arts and Math.

Overall, the Pueblo School District faces significant challenges, with an overall low ranking compared to other districts in the state. Many schools have very high percentages of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, over 90% in some cases, which likely contributes to the district's struggles. The magnet and charter schools in the data tend to outperform the traditional public schools, suggesting that addressing equity and supporting the high-poverty student population will be critical for improving outcomes across the district.
