Summary

Coronado High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in the El Paso Independent School District (Isd), serving over 2,500 students in grades 9-12 in a well-established area of west El Paso. The school has consistently earned a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, with a strong graduation rate that has historically exceeded 90%, though it recently dipped to 87.7% in 2023-2024. While Coronado is a stable, above-average neighborhood school, it is overshadowed by nearby academic powerhouses like Franklin High School (1.8 miles away) and elite magnet schools such as Young Women's Steam Research & Preparatory Academy and Northwest Early College H S (Nwechs), which rank in the 89th-95th percentile statewide.

Coronado shows a remarkable ability to serve certain student populations exceptionally well, particularly Migrant Students (89th percentile) and African American Students (86th percentile), while struggling significantly with others, including Special Education Students (31st percentile) and Low Socio-Economic Status Students (42nd percentile). Most critically, the school's Gifted and Talented Students subgroup ranks in the bottom 13th percentile, suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving students. This is a significant competitive disadvantage, as these students may be drawn to nearby magnet schools. Additionally, the school presents a clear dichotomy in test scores: it consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in English I & II Reading, but Algebra I proficiency (34.4%) is well below the district (50.9%) and state (54.0%) averages.

Compared to its direct rival, Franklin High School, Coronado has a lower state ranking, lower test scores in every subject, and a lower graduation rate (87.7% vs. 91.1%). While Coronado is a better option than lower-performing schools like El Paso High School or Canutillo High School, it lacks a standout strength that would make it a "destination" school. The recent dip in graduation rate and the persistent Algebra I bottleneck are key areas of concern that, if addressed, could significantly boost the school's overall performance and competitiveness for local families.
