Summary

Options High School is a small public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Socorro Independent School District. While the district is ranked 304 out of 961 school districts in Texas, Options High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Texas high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years.

Options High School's academic performance is significantly lower than the surrounding high schools in the Socorro ISD. Its STAAR EOC (End of Course) test scores are much lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, including only 0% proficiency in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to 65.03% for the district and 47.01% for the state. The school's graduation rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 67.9% to 90.8%, with higher dropout rates than the surrounding high schools.

Interestingly, Options High School has much higher spending per student, ranging from $20,081 to $26,566 over the past few years, compared to the surrounding high schools that spend around $9,000 to $10,000 per student. When compared to nearby Triumph Public High Schools and Premier High Schools, as well as Harmony Science Academy, Options High School performs significantly worse, despite being a traditional public school. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and school size may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and partnerships.
