Summary

Sunset Park Elementary School serves 425 students in grades K-5 in Pueblo, CO, where about 76% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Within Pueblo School District No. 60 — a district ranked in the 12th percentile statewide — Sunset Park stands out as one of the stronger elementary options, ranking 522nd of 943 Colorado elementary schools in the 45th percentile. Its test scores clearly outpace the district: 40.5% proficiency in ELA versus 27.2% district-wide, and 29.3% in math versus 18.7% district-wide, though both remain slightly below state averages.

Science is Sunset Park's most striking strength. Fifth-grade science proficiency hit 45.5%, more than double the district rate and about 9 points above the state average — the highest among all nearby schools with recent data. The school also earns strong statewide subgroup rankings for Hispanic students (81st percentile) and low-income students (70th percentile, with a 4-star rating), pointing to effective outcomes for groups often underserved elsewhere. Attendance is another bright spot: chronic absenteeism sits at 25.0%, well below the district's 41.6%, the state's 28.4%, and most nearby schools, which range from 31.6% to 45.4%. Only Minnequa Elementary School, at 22.7%, fares better.

Sunset Park is clearly on an upward trajectory. Its statewide ranking has climbed from the 26th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026, with consistent annual gains in both ELA and math proficiency. Fifth-grade ELA (53.7%) now exceeds the state average, though 3rd-grade scores still lag, suggesting early elementary is an area to watch. Minnequa Elementary remains the top-performing nearby school overall, but Sunset Park beats it in science and achieves strong results with a higher student-teacher ratio (17.5 versus 12.8). For families in Pueblo, Sunset Park offers a compelling combination of improving academics, strong attendance, and standout science programming.
