Summary

Ysleta Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 345 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Ysleta Independent School District (ISD), Ysleta Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Texas in academic assessments, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ysleta Elementary's students excel in STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scoring significantly higher than their peers in the district and state in reading, math, and science. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students, in particular, perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20-25% of Texas elementary schools. However, the school's Gifted and Talented and Special Education students lag behind the state average, suggesting a need to address their unique educational needs.

Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Ysleta Elementary's academic success is impressive. The school spends more per student and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio than the district and state averages, which may contribute to its effectiveness. When compared to nearby schools, Ysleta Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, often outpacing its counterparts in the Ysleta ISD and even the Harmony Public Schools - West Texas charter network. Ysleta Elementary's consistent academic excellence, equitable support for diverse student populations, and efficient use of resources make it a standout elementary school in the El Paso community.
