Liberty Point International School

Liberty Point International School is a middle school serving 417 students in grades 6–8 in Pueblo West, Colorado, as part of Pueblo County School District 70, where roughly 61% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For the 2025–26 school year, it ranked 338th out of 469 Colorado middle schools — the 28th percentile and a 1-star rating — placing it well below district and state averages in every subject.

Academically, Liberty Point trails its neighbors by significant margins. In English Language Arts, 31% of students are proficient, compared to 43.4% districtwide and 44.7% statewide. Math proficiency is just 18%, versus 33.1% for the district and 37.3% for the state, and 8th grade science sits at 18.6% compared with 32.5% district and 35.4% state. It is the lowest-ranked middle school among its comparable District 70 peers — Sky View Middle School, just 2.9 miles away, outperforms Liberty Point by 13 points in ELA, 16 points in math, and 25 points in science, while The Connect Charter School posts even larger advantages. Chronic absenteeism also stands out: 38% of students are chronically absent, compared with 31.6% for the district and 28.4% statewide, and only Vineland Middle School has a higher rate among local peers.

Some grade-level results are especially concerning. 7th grade math proficiency is just 12.9%, and 8th grade ELA falls to 26.2% — a 19-point gap from the district. Science scores are volatile, swinging from 36.2% in 2024–25 to 18.6% in 2025–26. There are a few bright spots: math proficiency has improved from 10.1% in 2022–23, dropout rates are negligible, and Hispanic students reached the 52nd percentile statewide in 2023–24. Still, the school's ranking has plateaued in the high-20s percentile for two straight years. Reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening math instruction, particularly in 7th grade, are the most promising levers for improvement.
