Summary:
The 79902 zip code area of El Paso, Texas is home to 4 schools serving elementary and high school students, all part of the El Paso Independent School District except for one public charter high school. While the schools serve predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged communities, there are notable differences in academic performance, with Mesita Elementary and Lamar Elementary standing out as top-performing schools in the area.
El Paso High School, the largest school in the data set with over 1,500 students, has a 2-star rating but has shown improvement in its statewide ranking. The lone charter school, Triumph Public High Schools-Elementary Paso West, lags behind the district and state on most academic metrics, with low proficiency rates and a graduation rate well below the district average. These disparities highlight the need to address inequities and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their school or background.
Across the schools, high rates of economically disadvantaged students likely contribute to the academic challenges faced. While the top-performing schools demonstrate strong test scores, there are significant gaps compared to state averages, especially in math and science. Targeted support and resources may be needed to help these students succeed and close the achievement gap. Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of school performance in the 79902 zip code, with both standout schools and those struggling to meet state standards.
