Summary

North Loop Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd) serving 534 students in a high-poverty community where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround from a 2-star to a 4-star rating over the past five years.

North Loop’s biggest strength is its exceptional math program. In 3rd grade, 67.31% of students scored proficient in math—23 points above the state average and more than double the rate at nearby Mission Valley Elementary (29.52%). The school also excels at supporting its most vulnerable students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for both low-income and special education students. Its bilingual program is a standout, with 3rd graders scoring 70% proficient in Spanish reading and 66.67% in Spanish math, far exceeding state averages. However, the school struggles to maintain this success in upper grades, as 5th-grade Spanish reading proficiency drops to 25%. Additionally, while North Loop outperforms similar schools like Riverside Elementary and Thomas Manor, it lags behind wealthier schools like Eastwood Knolls International and Eastwood Heights Elementary, which serve populations with lower poverty rates.

A key factor in North Loop’s success is its higher per-pupil spending ($14,524) compared to nearby schools, which funds smaller class sizes (14.1:1 student-teacher ratio) and specialized support. The school’s only notable weakness is in Gifted & Talented programming, where it ranks in the 14th percentile statewide, suggesting a need for more enrichment for high-achieving students. Overall, North Loop is a strong choice for families seeking a school that effectively supports students from diverse backgrounds, particularly in math and bilingual education, while continuing to improve year after year.
