Summary

Magoffin Middle in El Paso, TX, is a public school in the El Paso Independent School District (Isd) serving 541 students in grades 6-8, located in an area where over 92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage.

While Magoffin has historically ranked in the bottom tier of Texas schools—currently at the 11th percentile statewide—it shows some notable bright spots. The school has a strong program for advanced math students, with 50.99% of students passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, matching the district average and nearly reaching the state average. This is a significant differentiator from nearby low-performing schools like Guillen Middle (8th percentile) and Cpt Gabriel Navarrete Middle (15th percentile), which both fall well below state averages in Algebra I. Additionally, Magoffin has shown a positive trend in keeping students enrolled, with its dropout rate dropping from 3.6% to 1.4%—now below the district average of 1.8%.

Performance at Magoffin is inconsistent across subjects and grades, suggesting pockets of teaching excellence. For example, 8th-grade Science proficiency (48.31%) actually exceeded both the district (47.21%) and state (46.25%) averages in a recent year, while 6th-grade Reading lagged significantly behind. Interestingly, Canyon Hills Middle, just 1.6 miles away with a similar economic disadvantage rate (81.86%), performs much better at the 40th percentile, highlighting that factors like school leadership and teaching quality can drive different outcomes even in demographically similar schools.
