Summary

Socorro High School is a public high school located in El Paso, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,562 students. It is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which is ranked 304 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Socorro Independent School District, Socorro High School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state in Algebra I, English I Reading, and English II Reading. This trend has persisted over the past few years, indicating a consistent academic challenge for the school. Additionally, Socorro High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 87.3% and 90.8%, which is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.4% to 3.0%, which is higher than the state's average.

When comparing Socorro High School to other high schools in the same district and nearby districts, some interesting patterns emerge. Americas High School and Eastlake High School, both part of the Socorro Independent School District, outperform Socorro High School on most academic metrics, including STAAR EOC exams and graduation rates. Additionally, Mission Early College High School, a public charter school in the Socorro Independent School District, significantly outperforms Socorro High School across the board, with much higher proficiency rates and a 100% four-year graduation rate.
