Better than 10% of Colorado elementary schools

Summary

Belmont Elementary School serves 394 students in grades PK–5 in Pueblo, Colorado, and is part of Pueblo School District No. 60. The school serves a high-poverty community, with about 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. On the most recent state ranking, Belmont placed in the 10th percentile of Colorado elementary schools, a significant decline from its pre-pandemic performance when it ranked in the 55th–68th percentile range.

Academically, proficiency rates are well below state averages across all subjects. Only 22.2% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, 14.2% in math, and 11.1% in science, compared to state averages of 44.7%, 37.3%, and 36.1%. There is a notable bright spot in 5th grade ELA, where 41.7% of students are proficient — actually exceeding the district average. However, 3rd grade math proficiency is just 8.3%, and 3rd grade ELA is only 11.7%, suggesting early foundational skills need significant attention. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, at 40.2%.

Nearby schools show that better outcomes are possible even with similar challenges. Franklin School of Innovation, just 0.6 miles away, has a higher poverty rate (85.6%) and similar absenteeism, yet achieves 40.6% ELA proficiency and 28.8% math proficiency. Haaff Elementary School, 0.5 miles away, ranks in the 50th percentile with 43.8% ELA and 37.2% math proficiency. These comparisons suggest that while Belmont faces real challenges, the outcomes are not inevitable. The school's decline in serving economically disadvantaged students — from the 94th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 21st percentile in 2021–2022 — underscores the urgency of addressing early literacy, math foundations, and attendance.
