Summary:

Zip code 81001 in Pueblo, CO is served by 13 schools across two districts—Pueblo School District No. 60 and Pueblo County School District 70—enrolling about 4,729 students in elementary, middle, high, and alternative programs, with high poverty (77% free/reduced lunch) and high chronic absenteeism (41.8%) shaping the overall picture.

The clearest standout is Villa Bella Expeditionary Middle School, which ranks in the 59th percentile statewide and outperforms every other middle school in the zip by a wide margin: 45.5% ELA and 33.6% math proficiency, with chronic absenteeism at just 20.3%. Its sibling, Villa Bella Expeditionary School, is similarly strong among elementary options. Within D60, Haaff Elementary School leads the pack, scoring right at state averages in both ELA (43.8%) and math (37.2%) despite 70.4% poverty. Franklin School of Innovation and Fountain International Magnet School also post solid scores near state averages, with Fountain’s chronic absenteeism (14.7%) among the lowest in the area. At the other end, Risley International Academy of Innovation is the lowest-ranked school in the zip (3rd percentile), with just 5.8% math proficiency and 66.5% chronic absenteeism. East High School, the only traditional high school, graduates 90.5% of students, but SAT math proficiency is a severe 5%.

Across the zip, math is the biggest academic weakness—even strong elementary schools like Haaff only reach the state average, while middle schools like W H Heaton Middle School (10.3%) and Risley (5.8%) fall far behind. Chronic absenteeism tracks closely with low performance: Park View Elementary School, Bradford Elementary School, and Eva R Baca Elementary School all have both high poverty and high absenteeism. Yet Haaff and Franklin prove that high-poverty schools can still succeed. The alternative program 70 Online serves a more at-risk population, with a 67.5% graduation rate. Overall, families in 81001 will find strong options at the Villa Bella schools, Haaff, Franklin, and Fountain, but most D60 schools face serious challenges in math and attendance.
