Summary

Dr Green Elementary is a small public school in El Paso, TX, serving 264 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the El Paso Independent School District (Isd). The school has a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, which is significantly smaller than nearby high-performing schools like Polk Elementary (15.7:1) and Marguerite J Lundy Elementary (15.3:1), suggesting a more personalized learning environment. Nearly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school spends a high amount per student—$15,024—which is more than comparable schools like Mesita Elementary ($10,861).

The school’s biggest strength is its bilingual Spanish program, where students dramatically outperform the district and state on STAAR Spanish assessments. For example, in 5th Grade Reading (Spanish), 85.71% of students were proficient, compared to just 38.27% in the district and 34.82% statewide. However, performance in English-language tests is much lower, with 3rd Grade Math (English) at only 27.27% proficient versus the district’s 40.19%. This split suggests the bilingual program is highly effective, while the standard English curriculum struggles. Science is a critical weakness across all grades and languages, with 5th Grade Science (English) at just 21.62% and the Spanish version at 0%.

Dr Green has experienced a sharp decline from its peak in 2018-2019, when it held a 5-star rating and ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide. By 2025-2026, it dropped to a 3-star rating and the 58th percentile. This decline is steeper than nearby peers like Marguerite J Lundy Elementary (93rd percentile) and Polk Elementary, which have remained stable or improved. The school also shares its campus with Dr Green Montessori, a separate program for PK-K students. Despite high spending and small classes, the school’s challenges—especially in supporting all student groups—have outpaced its resources, making it a school in transition with a clear strength in bilingual education.
