Summary

Sierra Vista Elementary School in Pueblo West, CO, serves 443 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Pueblo County School District 70. The school has shown steady improvement over the past decade, rising from the 38th percentile in 2015–2016 to its current 53rd percentile ranking (439th out of 943 Colorado elementary schools), earning a solid 3-star rating. About 48% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.5 to 1.

Academically, Sierra Vista's strongest subjects are English language arts and science. ELA proficiency reached 48.3% in 2025–2026, above both the district (43.4%) and state (44.7%). Science was similarly strong at 38% proficient, beating the state average of 36.1%. Math is the relative weak spot at 36% proficient, slightly below the state’s 37.3%, with 5th grade math particularly low at 28.2%. Compared to nearby schools, Sierra Vista outperforms most. Only Cedar Ridge Elementary School and Swallows Charter Academy rank higher in the immediate area, while the school sits well ahead of Prairie Winds Elementary School, Desert Sage Elementary School, and Liberty Point Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism is also a positive story: 24.5% versus the district’s 31.6%.

One notable strength is how well the school serves students from low-income families, with subgroup rankings in the 51st–81st percentile range over recent years. However, there is a persistent gender gap: female students rank at the 54th percentile statewide, while male students rank at the 35th percentile. Since boys make up about half the school, closing this gap could significantly boost the school’s overall standing. With its strong literacy gains since 2022–2023 and solid science results, Sierra Vista Elementary School is a good choice for many families. Its main opportunities for growth are math instruction and supporting male students more effectively.
