Summary

Douglass Elementary in El Paso, TX, is a PK-5 school in the El Paso Independent School District (Isd) serving 451 students, with over 95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has shown signs of recovery from a low point in the 2023-2024 school year, its academic performance remains significantly below both the district and state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels, ranking in the bottom 20th percentile of Texas elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

A key concern is mathematics, where only 24% of 3rd and 4th graders were proficient in math on the English STAAR test in the 2024-2025 school year—roughly half the district average and far below nearby Lamar Elementary, where 52% of 3rd graders and 56% of 4th graders were proficient. However, a bright spot is the 5th grade, where students scored 55.17% proficient in math, outperforming the district (51.25%) and state (47.38%) averages. The school also struggles with serving special education and gifted students, ranking in the 5th and 7th percentiles respectively, and science scores are critically low, with only 3.13% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025—a systemic issue shared by nearby schools like Crockett Elementary (4%) and Hart Elementary (12%).

Interestingly, Douglass’s Spanish-language program shows relative strength: 3rd graders taking math in Spanish scored 31.25% proficient, higher than the 24.32% for those taking it in English. Despite spending $13,827 per student—higher than Crockett ($11,433) and comparable to Zavala Elementary ($14,080)—academic outcomes lag behind Zavala (39th percentile) and Lamar (71st percentile), raising questions about resource efficiency. The school’s recent climb from the 8th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026 is a positive sign, but it remains the lowest-ranked among its immediate peers, including Coach Wally Hartley Pk-8 (61st percentile) and La Fe Preparatory School (80th percentile).
