Summary

Vista Del Sol Environmental Science is a PK-5 elementary school in El Paso, TX, serving 505 students within the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), where 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1.

While Vista Del Sol has a history of strong performance, earning 4-star ratings from 2015-2016 through 2018-2019, it has recently experienced a significant decline, dropping to a 2-star rating in the most recent 2025-2026 data (43rd percentile). This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like John Drugan School (85th percentile, 4 stars) and Elfida Chavez Elementary (75th percentile, 4 stars). Even the closest neighbor, Myrtle Cooper Elementary (0.73 miles away), ranks much higher at the 72nd percentile. The school's biggest academic weakness is in Mathematics, where proficiency rates in 2025-2026 were 43.9% (3rd), 38.5% (4th), and 35.7% (5th)—well below district averages. For example, 5th-grade Math proficiency at Myrtle Cooper was 62.8% compared to Vista Del Sol's 35.7%. However, there is a bright spot in 5th-grade Science, where the school consistently outperforms the district, likely linked to its Environmental Science theme.

The school has also seen declining effectiveness with key student subgroups. For instance, performance for Hispanic students dropped from the 73rd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, and for Special Education students, it fell from the 76th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026. Additionally, the school struggles to challenge its highest-achieving students, with Gifted and Talented students ranking in the 9th percentile (0 stars) in 2025-2026. This pattern suggests systemic challenges in maintaining support for its core population, especially compared to nearby schools like Sierra Vista Steam Academy (75th percentile, 4 stars), which serves a similar demographic but performs significantly better.
