Summary

Don Haskins Pk-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the El Paso Independent School District (ISD) in Texas, with 1,507 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.08% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Don Haskins Pk-8 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with performance on STAAR tests generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading ranged from 43.33% to 58.62%, compared to the district's 49.95% to 60.28% and the state's 51.69% to 57.83%. In STAAR Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 15.57% to 47.13%, significantly lower than the district's 27.61% to 46.81% and the state's 37.68% to 46.24%. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learners (ELL) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Don Haskins Pk-8 generally performs worse on STAAR tests, with lower proficiency rates in both reading and mathematics. However, some nearby charter schools, such as Congressman Silvestre & Carolina School and The Linguistic Academy of El Paso-Cultural Demo Site, outperform Don Haskins Pk-8 and the district average on STAAR assessments, which may be attributed to their lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
