Summary

Coldwell Elementary in El Paso, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 354 students in grades PK-5 within the El Paso Independent School District (Isd), and it serves a predominantly low-income community with a free/reduced lunch rate of nearly 88%.

Coldwell stands out for its exceptional bilingual program, consistently achieving proficiency rates in Spanish-language STAAR tests that far exceed both district and state averages. For example, in 4th grade Math and Reading (2025-2026), Coldwell scored 66.67% proficient, compared to district averages around 31-38% and state averages of 29-37%. This is a clear strength, especially when compared to nearby schools like Hillside Elementary, which has similar demographics but lacks this edge. The school also shows remarkable recent success with Special Education students, jumping from the 23rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 77th percentile in 2025-2026, placing it among the best in the state for this subgroup. Additionally, Coldwell’s 5th graders achieved a 35.59% proficiency rate in Science in 2023-2024, nearly double the district average and the highest among nearby schools like Crockett Elementary and Zavala Elementary.

However, Coldwell is a school of contrasts. Its overall state ranking has fluctuated, dropping from the 72nd percentile (4 stars) two years ago to the 56th percentile (3 stars) recently. The school also shows a persistent gender gap, ranking in the 68th percentile for Male Students but only the 31st percentile for Female Students. Furthermore, it consistently underperforms with Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the 45th percentile in 2025-2026 after two years in the bottom 20%. While Hawkins Elementary remains the top academic performer in the area, Coldwell offers a strong option for Spanish-speaking families or those needing special education support, though it may not be the best fit for high-achieving students seeking rigorous challenges.
