Summary:
The 81019 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Craver Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Pueblo County School District 70. Craver Middle School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 195 out of 469 Colorado middle schools in 2024-2025 to 269 out of 485 in 2023-2024 and 268 out of 480 in 2022-2023.
Academically, Craver Middle School has shown mixed results compared to district and state averages. While the school excelled in 8th grade science proficiency, with 59.1% of students proficient compared to 33.7% district-wide and 36.4% statewide, its English Language Arts and math proficiency rates for all grades were lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 48.03%, suggesting it serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite the school's inconsistent performance, its low student-teacher ratio of 16.2 could be an advantage, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, maintaining consistent academic achievement remains a challenge for Craver Middle School, and further efforts may be needed to address the disparities in core subject areas and support the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged population.
