Summary

Canutillo Elementary is a PK-5 school in Canutillo, TX, serving 481 students within the Canutillo Independent School District (Isd), a district that has earned a 3-star rating and ranks in the 59th percentile statewide. The school stands out for its exceptional early-grade mathematics performance, with 61.7% of 3rd graders proficient in math—significantly higher than both the district (39.07%) and state (44.33%) averages—and its highly effective bilingual program, where Spanish-language STAAR results in 3rd-grade reading and math far exceed nearby schools. Additionally, the school excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 81st percentile statewide and earning 4 stars, a notable strength compared to many peers that struggle in this area.

However, Canutillo Elementary faces a clear challenge in maintaining academic momentum as students progress to upper grades. While 3rd-grade reading and math are strong, 5th-grade math proficiency has declined sharply from 60% in 2023-2024 to 41.54% in 2025-2026, now below both district and state averages. This "upper-grade slump" contrasts with the school's early success and suggests that instructional strategies may need adjustment for more complex curriculum. Nearby schools from the El Paso Independent School District (Isd), such as Tippin Elementary and Kohlberg Elementary, rank in the 80th and 90th percentiles, but they serve a significantly lower percentage of low-income students, highlighting the challenges Canutillo Elementary overcomes to achieve its results.

Despite serving a high-poverty population (78% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch), Canutillo Elementary consistently punches above its weight, outperforming many district peers like Jose H Damian Elementary (49th percentile) and Deanna Davenport Elementary (lower-ranked despite higher spending). The school's per-student spending of $13,065 is higher than top-performing nearby schools like Tippin ($11,337) but lower than some lower-performing peers, indicating effective resource allocation. The primary takeaway for parents is that Canutillo Elementary excels in building strong foundations in early grades and supporting diverse learners, but families should be aware of the need for continued focus on math and reading as students approach 5th grade to ensure sustained success.
