Summary

Pueblo County High School is a public high school located in Pueblo, Colorado, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,194 students. The school is part of the Pueblo County School District 70, which is ranked 56 out of 115 school districts in Colorado and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pueblo County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Colorado high schools, typically ranking between 140-220 out of 200-400 schools and maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. However, the school has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 83.1% in 2022-2023 to 97.0% in 2023-2024. The school's dropout rates have also been generally lower than the state average, ranging from 0.6% to 2.2% in recent years. Compared to other high schools in the Pueblo School District No. 60, Pueblo County High School's performance is generally on par or slightly better, but it lags behind the performance of Pueblo West High School and Swallows Charter Academy High School, which are both in the Pueblo County School District 70 and have higher statewide rankings.

One area of concern for Pueblo County High School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 37.4% in recent years, which are much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science, though it performs better in reading and writing assessments. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.85% to 55.36% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
