Summary

Gonzalo And Sofia Garcia Elementary is a PK-5 school in El Paso, TX, serving 424 students within the Canutillo Independent School District (Isd), a district with a 3-star rating.

Garcia Elementary currently holds a 2-star state ranking (37th percentile), a decline from its 3-star ratings in the previous two years. Its most significant academic challenge is in Mathematics, where 4th-grade proficiency (26.23%) is roughly half the district average (53.11%) and well below the state average (49.28%). This math weakness is a consistent trend across grade levels. The school does have a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which is lower than many higher-performing nearby schools like Kohlberg Elementary (17.4:1) and The Linguistic Academy Of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site (16.7:1), but this resource advantage is not translating into stronger academic results. The school is the lowest-performing among its immediate district peers, with other Canutillo ISD elementary schools like Canutillo Elementary and Jose H Damian Elementary performing in the 49th-68th percentile range. In contrast, Congressman Silvestre & Carolina School, just 2.35 miles away, ranks in the 86th percentile (4 stars).

Despite these challenges, the school’s bilingual program appears to be a relative strength, with Spanish-language STAAR scores in Math and Reading much closer to English-language scores than at other schools, suggesting more equitable support for English Language Learners. However, the school shows extreme inconsistency in serving its Special Education population, which ranked in the 82nd percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 but dropped to the 21st percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. Spending per student ($11,990) is above the state average but does not correlate with higher performance, as nearby lower-performing schools spend more and higher-performing schools spend less. This suggests the school’s challenges are likely related to instructional strategy or school culture rather than funding.
