Summary

Magoffin Middle is a public middle school in El Paso, Texas, serving 548 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the El Paso Independent School District, which is ranked 543 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Magoffin Middle has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Texas middle schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating for most of that time.

Magoffin Middle's academic performance is a significant concern, with students consistently underperforming compared to the district and state averages on the STAAR assessments. In 2024-2025, only 37.16% of 6th graders were proficient or better in reading, compared to 49.95% for the El Paso ISD and 54.21% for Texas. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 23.5% of 6th graders and 18.22% of 8th graders reaching proficiency. Additionally, Magoffin Middle has seen a steady increase in its dropout rate, reaching 4.6% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Magoffin Middle to other middle schools in the El Paso ISD, it is clear that the school is underperforming. For example, Wiggs Middle and Hornedo Middle consistently outperform Magoffin Middle on state assessments and have higher rankings from SchoolDigger. While the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Magoffin Middle may be a significant factor contributing to the school's poor academic performance, the school's position within the El Paso ISD provides opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing with higher-performing schools in the district.
