BOUNDARIES: Primarily Pueblo city limits.
OVERVIEW:
Pueblo School District 60 primarily serves the youth within the city of Pueblo.
There are approximately 17,500 students served by 37 schools: 22 elementary
schools, 6 middle schools, 5 high schools and 4 charter schools. The profile of
the student body reflects 62% minority students and 61% of the students
qualifying for free and reduced lunch programs.
We are teachers, support personnel, administrators, school board members,
parents and community members concerned about improving student learning. Our
goals are to: improve student achievement for ALL students; improve teacher
effectiveness; promote continuous professional development and build leadership
effectiveness. And collectively we have built an impressive track record. Pueblo
School District 60 has been recognized repeatedly by President Bush, U.S.
Secretary of Education Rod Paige, Lynn Cheney and Governor Owens for our success
in closing the achievement gap for minority and lower-economic students. In
the March 2004 issue of U.S. News and World Report, which focused on public
education progress on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education,
District 60 and Beulah Heights Elementary School were featured as Schools of
Excellence in reporting how certain Title 1 schools are making a difference for
students. Baca Elementary was recently recognized as a National Blue Ribbon
School by President Bush while Sunset Park received the John Irwin School of
Excellence and Irving and Fountain Elementary schools were awarded the
Governors Distinguished Improvement Award. In recent years Carlile and South
Park Elementary schools were the recipient of the Regional Title 1 Distinguished
School while Beulah Heights and Bessemer Elementary schools won the prestigious
National Distinguished Title 1 School award.
Individual staff achievement has also been recognized with 3 District 60
principals receiving high honors as Colorado Principals of the Year: in 2004
Alan Nelms as principal at Heaton Middle School and in 2003 Dr. Kathy DeNiro as
principal for Corwin Middle School and Dr. Keith Owen as principal at Beulah
Heights Elementary. In 2003 Superintendent Dr. Joyce Bales and Dr. Keith Owen
were one of only eight districts and schools invited by President Bush to the
White House for the anniversary of the No Child Left Behind legislation. In
fact, U.S. Secretary of Education Paige has stated School officials can look to
Pueblo and District 60 Superintendent Joyce Bales to see how to improve student
achievement. In a report by the National Education Trust, 20 schools in
Colorado were identified as being high performing while having high minority and
high poverty student populations 6 of those 20 schools were in District 60! In
the most recent state assessment testing (CSAP) District 60 has shown an overall
Hispanic gain of 50% in students scoring proficient and above compared to
other students whose scores averaged a 28% increase. District 60 Hispanic
students show a gain of 45% over other Hispanic students in Colorado. Seven of
the eight D60 schools that exceeded the state average on all CSAP tests had 50%
or more students who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Two schools exceeded
the state average on all 17 tests taken and they are both Title 1 schools: Cesar
Chavez Academy and Goodnight School. Title 1 schools have made an astonishing
372% increase in 4th grade writing over 8 years and a 98% increase in 4th grade
writing over 8 years these are the two tests given over the longest period of
time. This significant student improvement has engendered a sense of trust in
the District which has resulted in the single largest investment to support the
youth of Pueblo a $98 million bond program to improve the Districts aging
school facilities. The bond program is nearing the half way point and is on
track both financially and regarding timeline.
