Summary

O'Shea Keleher Whole Child Academy is an elementary school in the Socorro Independent School District in El Paso, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with 706 students. The school has received a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, with its ranking among Texas elementary schools ranging from 733 out of 4,479 in 2018-2019 to 3,663 out of 4,578 in 2020-2021.

While O'Shea Keleher generally performs better than the district and state averages in reading, with 3rd-5th grade reading proficiency rates ranging from 44-71% in recent years, the school lags behind in math, with 3rd-5th grade math proficiency rates of 36-72%, and science, with 5th grade science proficiency rates of 25-40%. The school's challenges with English Language Learners and Special Education students are concerning, indicating a need to strengthen support and interventions for these student populations.

Compared to nearby Ysleta Independent School District schools, which generally outperform the Socorro ISD schools, O'Shea Keleher's higher per-student spending and student-teacher ratio do not seem to be translating into significantly better overall academic performance. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as curriculum, teacher quality, and school leadership, play a key role in student outcomes at the school.
