Ysleta Middle

Summary:

Ysleta Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 779 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Ysleta Independent School District, which is ranked 277 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Ysleta Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic measures like STAAR test scores, ranking in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past decade. The school's SchoolDigger rating has been 1 or 0 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance. Ysleta Middle's student population is predominantly Hispanic, with over 98% of students identifying as such, and over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. While the school maintains relatively low dropout rates, its academic outcomes for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low-income families lag behind their peers statewide.

When compared to other middle schools in the Ysleta Independent School District, such as Eastwood Middle and Bel Air Middle, Ysleta Middle consistently underperforms. However, these nearby schools also struggle to meet state-level performance, indicating broader challenges for the district. Ysleta Middle's relatively strong performance in the special education subgroup suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to support these students, which could provide insights for improving outcomes in other student populations.

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.
