El Paso Independent School District (Isd)

The El Paso Independent School District (Isd) encompasses 72 schools, including 47 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, and 16 high schools, serving students across the El Paso area. The district features a diverse range of academic performance, with several standout schools as well as some lower-performing institutions that struggle with student achievement and graduation rates.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Silva Health Magnet, a high school ranked in the top 5% of Texas high schools, and Transmountain Early College High School, another high-achieving high school in the top 5% statewide. These specialized schools boast exceptional academic performance, with over 90% of students proficient or better on STAAR EOC exams. In contrast, schools like College Career Technology Academy (Ccta) and Telles Academy struggle, with proficiency rates often below 30%.

The data also reveals significant disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic status across the district, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 20.6% at Marguerite J Lundy Elementary to 99.8% at Douglass Elementary. This suggests a strong correlation between poverty and academic performance, an issue the district will need to address to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
