Summary

Carroll T Welch Elementary is a public elementary school in El Paso, Texas, serving 695 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Clint Independent School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with academic performance generally below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects on the STAAR assessments.

Carroll T Welch Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 93.09% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has a significant population of English Language Learner (ELL) students, whose STAAR Spanish assessment performance is significantly lower than state and district averages. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes remain a concern.

When compared to nearby schools within the Clint Independent School District, such as Desert Hills Elementary and Frank Macias Elementary, Carroll T Welch Elementary consistently underperforms on STAAR assessments. The performance gap becomes even more pronounced when compared to schools in the neighboring Socorro Independent School District, where schools like Horizon Heights Elementary and Ben Narbuth Elementary significantly outperform Carroll T Welch Elementary on state assessments.
