Summary

Douglass Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 499 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 543 out of 961 school districts in the state.

Despite its high per-student spending, Douglass Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students perform significantly below district and state averages in STAAR assessments for reading, math, and science. The school struggles to support various student subgroups, including Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. With an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Douglass Elementary serves a very high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the same district, such as Coach Wally Hartley Pk-8, Crockett Elementary, and Hillside Elementary, generally outperform Douglass Elementary on academic measures. The nearby La Fe Preparatory School, a charter school, also outperforms Douglass Elementary in most subject areas, despite serving a similarly high-poverty student population. This suggests that significant improvements are needed at Douglass Elementary to ensure all students in the area have access to a quality education.
