Minnequa Elementary School

Minnequa Elementary School is a public school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. It enrolls 287 students with a 13.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio — a class size that keeps instruction personal. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10, which MySchoolScout rates Exceptional.

The numbers behind that label are difficult to overstate. Minnequa ranks #9 out of 1,815 public schools across Colorado and sits #1 among all 45 public schools in Pueblo. Among elementary schools statewide, it places 7th out of 1,006 — the kind of ranking that signals consistent, replicable results rather than a one-year spike.

A Growth score of 9.9 out of 10 is near-perfect, meaning students here advance faster than peers at virtually every comparable school in the state. Academic performance reinforces the growth story. A 9.0 Academic score confirms that strong test outcomes accompany that upward trajectory.

Together, the two scores describe a school where students both achieve at a high level and improve year over year. For families comparing options in Pueblo or across the state, Minnequa outperforms 100% of Colorado public schools — a bar that fewer than a handful of schools anywhere in the state ever clear.
