Summary

Aoy Elementary is a PK-5 public school in downtown El Paso, TX, serving 315 students as part of the El Paso Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs, ranking in the 100th percentile statewide for their academic performance in 2023-2024—a remarkable achievement that no nearby school matches. However, Aoy’s overall performance has been highly volatile, swinging from the 6th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 33rd percentile in 2025-2026, while nearby schools like Mesita Elementary show stable rankings in the 79th-84th percentile range.

Aoy’s bilingual program is a clear strength, with Spanish-language STAAR scores in 4th and 5th grade reading and math outperforming both district and state averages in 2025-2026. Yet, the school faces a critical gender gap: female students ranked in the 59th percentile in 2025-2026, while male students ranked only in the 8th percentile—a 51-point difference that is the largest among nearby schools. Additionally, science scores have been alarmingly low, with only 4.55% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, far below district and state averages. Despite spending more per student ($17,533) than Lamar Elementary and having a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3:1, Aoy’s overall results have lagged behind peers like La Fe Preparatory School, a nearby charter school that achieves an 80th percentile ranking with a similar high-poverty population.

For parents, Aoy offers a school with proven strengths in special education and bilingual instruction, but with notable inconsistencies. The school’s recent rebound from a low point in 2023-2024 is encouraging, especially for female students, but the struggles with male student performance and science proficiency are areas to watch. While Aoy has the resources and some standout programs, families should consider how the school’s volatility and gender gap might affect their child’s experience, and they may want to compare it to more consistently high-performing options like Coach Wally Hartley Pk-8 or Douglass Elementary.
