Summary

Cedar Ridge Elementary School, located in Pueblo West, CO, serves 458 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Pueblo County School District 70, a district that earns a 3-star statewide rating. Cedar Ridge Elementary School itself has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 273rd out of 943 Colorado elementary schools (71st percentile), making it one of the higher-performing elementary schools in the region. It also continues to climb: the school moved from the 62nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 71st percentile today.

On 2025-2026 CMAS tests, Cedar Ridge posted 56.6% proficiency in ELA and 52.2% in math, well above district averages (43.4% ELA, 33.1% math) and state averages (44.7% ELA, 37.3% math). This is a consistent pattern, with proficiency rising for three straight years. The numbers are eye-opening next to nearby schools. Among District 70 peers, Prairie Winds Elementary (41.2% ELA, 28.5% math), Liberty Point Elementary (39.0% ELA, 27.7% math), and Desert Sage Elementary (34.8% ELA, 31.1% math) trail far behind, and even Swallows Charter Academy, the closest competitor, posts just 35.0% math. Cedar Ridge's math advantage is especially notable—every tested grade level exceeded 50% proficiency, while no nearby District 70 school reached even 40%. The gap is just as wide across the county line in Pueblo School District No. 60, where even Heritage Elementary (42.2% ELA, 32.5% math) falls well short.

Cedar Ridge also stands out for strong outcomes with students from low-income households. Students eligible for free/reduced lunch rank 13th out of 319 comparable schools statewide—the 96th percentile, earning a 5-star rating—and this ranking has improved each year since 2023. Chronic absenteeism (26.0%) is below both district (31.6%) and state (28.4%) averages. The one area to watch is 5th grade science: at 38.9% proficiency, it is above state and district averages but has slipped from 44.0% the previous year. Still, with strong academics, below-average absenteeism, and an upward trajectory, Cedar Ridge is clearly one of the strongest elementary choices in the Pueblo West area.
