Summary

Dr Sue A Shook School is a large elementary school in El Paso, TX, serving 1,167 students in grades PK-5 within the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out for its exceptional ability to help students from low-income backgrounds achieve strong academic results.

This school consistently outperforms many nearby schools, especially in early literacy. For example, its 3rd-grade reading proficiency has remained around 66-67% for the past four years, which is significantly higher than the district average (51-58%) and the state average (49-52%). This focus on reading gives students a strong foundation. The school also excels in math for younger students, with 3rd-grade math scores (60.89%) far exceeding the district average (45.24%). However, like many schools in the area, 5th-grade math is a shared challenge, with scores (50%) trailing behind top-performing peers like Horizon Heights Elementary (71.6%) and Loma Verde (72.97%). Science is another area for growth, as 5th-grade science scores (23.35%) are below both the district (27.26%) and state (29.57%) averages.

What truly sets Dr. Sue A Shook apart is its remarkable performance with specific student groups. The school ranks in the 87th percentile statewide for its low socio-economic status students, a stark contrast to nearby schools in the Clint Independent School District (Isd) like Carroll T Welch Elementary and Frank Macias Elementary, which struggle to achieve similar results despite higher per-student spending. This shows that the school is a true "value-add" within a high-performing district, actively closing achievement gaps. While the school excels with many groups, it has seen a notable decline in performance for its Special Education students, dropping from the 74th percentile to the 37th percentile in recent years, which is an area for parents to inquire about.
