Summary

Congressman Silvestre & Carolina School is a PK-5 elementary school in El Paso, TX, serving 577 students within the Canutillo Independent School District (Isd) and consistently ranking among the top 20% of all Texas elementary schools over the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in 4th grade mathematics, where 87.64% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the district average of 53.11% and the state average of 49.28%. It also boasts a highly effective bilingual education program, with 100% of 5th graders taking the Reading STAAR in Spanish achieving proficiency, compared to just 32.91% statewide. The school is especially effective at serving Hispanic students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 97th and 95th percentiles statewide for these groups, respectively. Interestingly, while the school excels with nearly all student subgroups, its performance with Gifted and Talented students is more average (65th percentile), suggesting it may not provide the same level of enrichment for its highest achievers.

Compared to nearby schools, Congressman Silvestre & Carolina School is a standout. It outperforms other Canutillo Independent School District (Isd) schools like Canutillo Elementary (68th percentile) and Jose H Damian Elementary (49th percentile), and it performs on par with top schools in the higher-performing El Paso Independent School District (Isd), such as Tippin Elementary (89th percentile). The school also operates with notable efficiency, spending $11,078 per student—less than the district average—while achieving superior results. This combination of high performance, effective programs, and efficient spending makes it a compelling choice for families in the area.
