Summary

Socorro High School in El Paso, TX, serves 2,579 students in grades 9-12 within the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), and is located in a predominantly low-income community where over 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Over the past five years, Socorro High has shown a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 27th to the 51st percentile statewide and earning a 3-star rating. This improvement is especially notable when compared to nearby schools like Americas High School and Eastlake High School, which have remained relatively stagnant in their rankings. Socorro is closing the gap, moving from a position far behind these schools to one that is now much more competitive. The school also stands out for its exceptional performance with specific student groups, ranking 7th out of 1,086 schools statewide for its African American students—a 5-star achievement that no other nearby school matches. Additionally, Socorro has earned consistent 3-star ratings for its support of students in special education and those from low socio-economic backgrounds, indicating effective systems that help these groups succeed.

Despite these strengths, Socorro faces challenges, particularly in Algebra I, where proficiency rates (27%) lag far behind the district average (75%) and state average (54%). This is a systemic issue, as even high-performing schools like Americas (48%) and Eastlake (35%) struggle in this area. The school also has a graduation rate around 87-88%, which trails the district average by a few points, and a dropout rate roughly double the district average. Interestingly, Socorro achieves its upward trend with lower spending per student ($9,679) compared to peers like Ysleta High School ($10,080) and Del Valle High School ($9,930), despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students. For context, the selective Mission Early College High School, just 2.15 miles away, is a 5-star school with near-perfect test scores and a 100% graduation rate, highlighting the wide range of educational outcomes within the same district.
