Summary

Presa Elementary is a PK-5 school in El Paso, TX, serving 289 students within the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd), and it has become a standout success story by climbing from the 31st percentile statewide in 2021 to the 86th percentile in 2026, earning a consistent 4-star rating.

What truly sets Presa apart is its exceptional effectiveness with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for this group—a remarkable feat given that over 84% of its own students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This performance far exceeds nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Pasodale Elementary (56th percentile overall) and Del Valle Elementary (38th percentile). The school also shows incredible growth in supporting special education students, jumping from the 49th to the 98th percentile in just two years. Academically, Presa shines brightest in mathematics, with 5th-grade math proficiency rates (71.79%) that are over 24 percentage points higher than the state average, and it outperforms its district in 5 out of 6 core STAAR tests. Its bilingual program is also a clear strength, with 5th-grade Spanish Reading proficiency (66.67%) nearly double the district average.

The contrast with Capistrano Elementary, located just 1.18 miles away and serving a similar high-poverty community, is striking: Presa ranks in the 86th percentile while Capistrano sits at the 6th percentile, proving that school leadership and instructional strategies matter more than zip code. While the area's top performer is the magnet school Alicia R Chacon International (92nd percentile), it serves a lower-poverty population and has selective admissions, making Presa's achievements as a neighborhood school even more impressive. One area for growth remains 5th-grade Science, where proficiency (53.85%) is above the state average but has dipped from prior years, suggesting a focus area to sustain its upward trajectory.
