Summary

Sun Ridge Middle in El Paso, TX, is a mid-sized public school serving 978 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Socorro Independent School District (Isd), where about 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school has maintained a solid 3-star rating from Schooldigger for the past six years, it has not yet returned to its pre-pandemic 4-star peak, and nearby schools like Eastlake Middle and Ssg Manuel R Puentes have shown stronger upward momentum in state rankings.

A standout strength is the school's exceptional performance with its African American students, who ranked in the 86th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the school's overall 68th percentile ranking. Additionally, Sun Ridge excels at accelerating top math students: while only 43% of 8th graders passed the standard STAAR Math test (below district and state averages), an impressive 81% passed the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, outperforming both the district (75%) and state (54%). However, the school faces challenges in 8th-grade Social Studies, where its 30.92% proficiency rate is the lowest among nearby same-district peers, compared to 57% at William D Slider Middle.

Sun Ridge demonstrates strong equity by performing well with low socio-economic status students, ranking in the 75th percentile for this subgroup. Yet, support for Special Education students has been inconsistent, with rankings swinging from the 84th percentile to the 21st and back to the 63rd over three years. Notably, the school is a stark contrast to the nearby El Paso Leadership Academy - Middle East, a low-performing charter school ranking in the 6th percentile, highlighting the significant impact of district leadership on student outcomes.
