Summary:
The 81019 zip code in Colorado has only one middle school, Craver Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is mixed compared to the Pueblo County School District 70 and the state of Colorado.
Craver Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 233 out of 448 Colorado middle schools in 2021-2022 to 269 out of 485 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts are slightly above the district average but below the state, while its CMAS Math proficiency rates are significantly lower than both the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 50.88%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's challenges, its relatively small student-teacher ratio of 14.1 could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the declining statewide ranking and academic performance gaps, particularly in math, suggest that Craver Middle School may need to focus on improving instruction and support to better serve its students and the community.
