El Paso Academy

The El Paso Academy district serves 319 students across two high schools, El Paso Academy and El Paso Academy West, and is ranked in the 34th percentile of Texas districts with a 2-star rating.

The standout school in this district is El Paso Academy West, which shows a strong upward trajectory. It jumped from a 1-star to a 3-star rating, now ranking in the 50th percentile, while El Paso Academy has declined to a 1-star rating. El Paso Academy West boasts a higher graduation rate (82.5% vs. 65.0%) and a lower dropout rate (5.5% vs. 8.7%). It also excels in U.S. History, with 73.33% of students proficient—more than double El Paso Academy's 34.88%—and leads in Algebra I proficiency (64.29% vs. 55.56%). Notably, El Paso Academy West spends $1,295 more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio (28.2:1 vs. 34.3:1), suggesting that resource allocation may be driving its success.

Both schools face challenges in English Language Arts, with neither reaching the state average in English I or II proficiency. The most urgent issue is the 17.5 percentage point gap in graduation rates, as El Paso Academy fails to graduate over a third of its students. For parents, El Paso Academy West offers stronger academic outcomes and a more supportive learning environment, while El Paso Academy requires significant improvement in graduation rates and core subject mastery.
