Pueblo School for Arts & Sciences at Fulton Height

Summary:

Pueblo School for Arts & Sciences at Fulton Height is a public charter elementary school serving 260 students in grades K-8 in Pueblo, Colorado, which is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60.

The school faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 61-62% Hispanic, well below average test scores in English Language Arts (25.5% proficiency) and Math (9.5% proficiency) compared to state averages, and a declining statewide ranking from the top 30% of Colorado elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the bottom 30% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.37% to 61.54% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Compared to nearby Pueblo County School District 70 schools, such as South Mesa Elementary, Pueblo School for Arts & Sciences performs significantly worse on test scores and has a lower statewide ranking.

The school's declining performance over the years, with its student-teacher ratio increasing from 17.9 in 2020-2021 to 21.2 in 2022-2023, suggests the need for targeted interventions and improvement strategies to address these issues and provide a high-quality education for its students. While the school has a higher Hispanic student population compared to the surrounding schools, it lacks racial diversity, with only 0.77% to 1.21% African American students and no Asian or Native American students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
