Public, Virtual Grades 6-12

276^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 328 Colorado High Schools

Better than 16% of Colorado high schools

Summary

The Academy of Las Animas Online School is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in Pueblo, Colorado, with 512 students. Unfortunately, this school consistently underperforms compared to nearby traditional public and charter schools, ranking in the bottom quartile of Colorado high schools over the past several years.

The school's academic performance is very low, with 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates on state assessments like CMAS, SAT, and PSAT that are often less than half the state and district averages. For example, only 10.4% of students were proficient in CMAS English Language Arts compared to 44.1% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7-49.1% in recent years, and low graduation rates that have fluctuated between 46-84.2%, well below the state average. In contrast, nearby schools like Pueblo West High School, Pueblo County High School, and East High School outperform the Academy of Las Animas Online School across most metrics.

The one exception is Swallows Charter Academy High School, which outperforms the Academy of Las Animas Online School and is ranked in the top 25% of Colorado high schools. The poor performance of the Academy of Las Animas Online School may reflect the challenges of delivering a quality education in a virtual setting, especially for a high-poverty student population. Additionally, the low ranking and 1-star rating of the Las Animas School District No. Re-1 suggests systemic issues that are impacting the performance of the online school and other district schools.
