Newman Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Newman Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 266 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Newman Elementary faces several key challenges. It has consistently had a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 93% to 95%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The school's performance on STAAR assessments has been consistently below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in reading, math, and science are projected to be significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and Hispanic students tending to perform better than English Language Learners and Gifted and Talented students.

When comparing Newman Elementary to other nearby schools within the same district, it appears to be one of the lower-performing schools. For instance, Desertaire Elementary and Tom Lea Junior Elementary, both in the Ysleta Independent School District, consistently outperform Newman Elementary on STAAR assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Newman Elementary will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that targets the specific needs of the school's students and community.
