Ysleta High School

Summary:

Ysleta High School is a public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving 1,342 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Ysleta Independent School District, which is ranked 277 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ysleta High School has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with over 99% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Academically, Ysleta High School's performance, as measured by STAAR EOC exam proficiency rates, is generally lower than the district and state averages across most subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 33.19% in Algebra I to 57.41% in English II Reading, compared to the district's 61.37% and 63.38%, respectively, and the state's 44.73% and 59.82%. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.5% to 96.0% in recent years, though its dropout rate has been higher than the state average. Ysleta High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for Hispanic students generally higher than its overall ranking, and the ranking for White students significantly lower.

Compared to nearby schools within the Ysleta Independent School District, such as Valle Verde Early College High School and Del Valle High School, Ysleta High School's performance is generally lower. These schools have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and overall SchoolDigger rankings. However, Ysleta High School's relatively strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Special Education students, suggests that the school may be implementing effective targeted interventions and support programs for these populations. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and providing comprehensive support services for the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds could be crucial for improving Ysleta High School's overall outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
