Summary

Coach Archie Duran Elementary is a PK-5 campus in the El Paso Independent School District (Isd) serving 648 students, with nearly 90% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has shown a strong upward trend, jumping from the 33rd percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 47th percentile in 2025-2026, a 14-point improvement that signals growing effectiveness. This positive momentum is especially notable when compared to nearby EPISD schools like Whitaker Elementary and Stanton Elementary, which have seen their rankings decline or remain flat over the same period.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance with male students, who ranked in the 65th percentile in 2025-2026—a dramatic rise from the 39th percentile just two years prior. The school also excels with its economically disadvantaged students, who make up the vast majority of the student body, ranking in the 64th percentile in 2025-2026, up from the 35th percentile in 2023-2024. Additionally, Special Education students have rebounded impressively from a low of the 8th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting effective interventions. However, female students lag significantly, ranking in the 25th percentile, creating a 40-point gender gap that warrants attention.

Despite these gains, mathematics remains a persistent challenge, with scores below both district and state averages in every grade level. For example, only 39% of 4th graders were proficient in math, compared to 48% in the district and 49% statewide. Science is another critical weakness, with just 9.5% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, the lowest among nearby schools. Interestingly, while Duran is improving, nearby schools in the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd)—such as Parkland Elementary and North Star Elementary—consistently outperform it in reading and math, despite serving similar high-poverty communities. This suggests district-level factors may play a role in student outcomes.
