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.

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.
