Pueblo Classical Academy

Pueblo Classical Academy is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 with 180 students in Pueblo West, Colorado, which is part of the Pueblo County School District 70. The school stands out for its higher percentage of White students, stronger academic performance in science and 5th grade ELA and math, and lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to nearby schools.

Academically, 70 Online, another alternative school in the same district, performs significantly worse than Pueblo Classical Academy and the district/state averages across all subject areas. In contrast, Chavez/Huerta K-12 Preparatory Academy, a charter school in a different district, has much lower proficiency rates than Pueblo Classical Academy, especially in math and science. Pueblo Classical Academy also has a more balanced racial makeup compared to Chavez/Huerta, which has a predominantly Hispanic student population.

While Pueblo Classical Academy outperforms the district and state in some areas, its math proficiency rates, especially in 7th grade, are significantly lower and could be an area of focus for improvement. Additionally, the school's lower free and reduced lunch rates suggest it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the surrounding Pueblo Youth Service Center and Chavez/Huerta K-12 Preparatory Academy.
