Summary

Frank Macias Elementary in El Paso, TX, is a large PK-5 school in the Clint Independent School District (Isd) serving 975 students, and it stands out as a school in the midst of a powerful turnaround, having improved from the 3rd percentile statewide to the 39th percentile over the past five years.

This school’s greatest strength is its exceptional support for students from low-income backgrounds and English Language Learners (ELL). In the most recent data, Frank Macias ranked in the 63rd percentile for low socio-economic status students, earning 3 stars—a remarkable achievement that shows the school is effectively closing the achievement gap. Its ELL program has also seen a massive jump, moving from the 10th percentile to the 51st percentile in just two years. This success is particularly evident in Spanish-language instruction, where students often outperform district and state averages, such as 85% proficiency in 5th-grade Reading Spanish compared to 32.9% statewide. However, English-language scores lag behind, suggesting the transition to English proficiency remains a challenge. In contrast, nearby Horizon Heights Elementary (91st percentile) and Ben Narbuth Elementary (75th percentile) in the higher-performing Socorro Independent School District (Isd) serve less economically disadvantaged populations, highlighting a clear socio-economic divide in the area.

Despite its progress, Frank Macias has notable weaknesses. The school struggles to serve its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 1st percentile for this subgroup, which suggests improvement efforts are focused on foundational skills rather than enrichment. Test scores also show inconsistency across grade levels, with 3rd-grade Reading at 50.85% proficiency dropping to 44.09% in 4th grade, indicating success may depend more on individual teachers than a school-wide strategy. Additionally, 5th-grade Science is a persistent challenge, with only 16% proficiency in English and 33.3% in Spanish, a problem shared by most nearby schools. For parents, Frank Macias offers a dedicated environment for students who need extra support, but families seeking advanced programs or consistent English instruction may want to explore options like Carroll T Welch Elementary (33rd percentile) in the same district, which has shown more stable, though modest, growth.
