Summary:

The El Paso Independent School District (Isd) oversees 75 schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools, serving a diverse student population across the El Paso area. This district presents a wide range of educational experiences, from top-tier magnet programs to schools facing significant challenges, making school choice a critical factor for families.

Standout schools in the district are dominated by specialized programs. Transmountain Early College High School leads as the top performer, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide with near-perfect test scores and a 98.7% graduation rate. Silva Health Magnet is another exceptional choice, ranking in the 97th percentile with a 99.1% graduation rate. For younger students, Marguerite J Lundy Elementary (94th percentile) and Tippin Elementary (89th percentile) are top elementary options, while Hornedo Middle (84th percentile) is the strongest middle school. In contrast, schools like College Career Technology Academy (Ccta) (1st percentile) and Telles Academy (2nd percentile) struggle with low test scores and graduation rates. Bowie High School and Jefferson High School also rank low, in the 11th and 15th percentiles respectively.

A key takeaway is that higher spending does not guarantee better results; the highest-spending schools are often the lowest-performing, while top schools like Transmountain spend modestly. Additionally, middle school math is a district-wide weakness, with 7th-grade proficiency reported at 0% across almost all schools. However, Franklin High School shows a positive trend, improving from the 63rd to the 73rd percentile, offering a strong option for families seeking a comprehensive high school with a solid graduation rate of 91.1%.
