El Paso Academy

The El Paso Academy district operates two public charter high schools, El Paso Academy and El Paso Academy West, both serving grades 9-12. While the schools have similar student demographics, with a majority Hispanic population, their academic performance and operational metrics show some differences.

Academically, El Paso Academy West generally outperforms El Paso Academy on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with higher proficiency rates in Algebra I, U.S. History, and English II Reading. However, both schools have relatively low proficiency rates compared to the state average, indicating room for improvement in academic achievement. The schools also have similar graduation rates, around 66%, and dropout rates, around 10.5%.

In terms of resources, El Paso Academy West spends $1,295 more per student than El Paso Academy, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 21.3 compared to 28.7 at El Paso Academy. These differences in funding and staffing may contribute to the slight performance gap between the two schools, but overall, the data suggests a consistent level of educational quality across the El Paso Academy district.
