Summary

Heritage Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving 253 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60, which is ranked 105 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Heritage Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools, with a ranking between 483 and 840 out of around 900-950 schools.

Heritage Elementary faces significant challenges, with low academic performance, high poverty rates, and high chronic absenteeism compared to state and district averages, as well as nearby schools. Only 30.8% of Heritage students were proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 44.8% statewide, and just 21.7% were proficient in Math, compared to 35.9% statewide. The school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.89% to 84.98% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, Heritage Elementary has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 43% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Heritage Elementary to nearby schools in the Pueblo School District, it is clear that Heritage is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, Minnequa Elementary and Goodnight Elementary, which are both within a few miles of Heritage, significantly outperform Heritage on test scores and other metrics. Addressing the underlying issues of poverty and chronic absenteeism will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Heritage Elementary School.
