Summary:
The 16 schools in zip code 79924 in El Paso, Texas serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of traditional public schools, public charter schools, and one alternative school. The data reveals a clear divide in performance, with schools in the Ysleta Independent School District (ISD) consistently outperforming those in the El Paso ISD. The standout school is Harmony School of Innovation - El Paso, a public charter school with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, as well as strong test scores across the board.
Economic disadvantage, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, appears to be a significant factor in academic performance. Schools with the highest poverty levels, such as Stanton Elementary and Bobby Joe Hill Pk-8, tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. In contrast, Desertaire Elementary and North Star Elementary, both in the Ysleta ISD, stand out with strong academic performance and relatively lower poverty levels.
The data also reveals significant variation in student-teacher ratios, from 11.4 at Newman Elementary to 46.1 at Dr. Joseph Torres Elementary, suggesting that some schools may be struggling with staffing and resource allocation, which could impact the quality of instruction and support for students.
