Summary

Benito Martinez Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 472 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Socorro Independent School District. While the school has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Texas elementary schools, it faces some academic challenges, particularly in comparison to nearby schools.

Benito Martinez Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's projected 3rd-grade proficiency rates in reading and math for 2024-2025 are 46.97% and 30.43%, compared to the district's 57.97% and 47.7%, and the state's 52.02% and 44.88%. However, the school has shown some strengths, such as in 5th-grade reading, where its projected proficiency rate of 53.85% is closer to the district and state averages. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 83.26%, and serves a significant population of English Language Learners and students with special needs.

Interestingly, the nearby Paso Del Norte Fine Arts Academy, Vista Del Sol Environmental Science, and Elfida Chavez Elementary generally perform better than Benito Martinez Elementary on STAAR tests, while some Ysleta ISD schools, such as Pebble Hills Elementary, Glen Cove Elementary, and Tierra Del Sol Elementary, also outperform Benito Martinez Elementary and the Socorro ISD schools on academic measures.
