Summary

El Dorado High School is a large public high school in the Socorro Independent School District (Isd), serving approximately 2,109 students in grades 9-12 in a rapidly growing area of El Paso, TX, where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 56th percentile statewide, which shows a recovery from pandemic-era lows but remains below its pre-pandemic peak.

A critical concern for El Dorado is its Algebra I proficiency rate, which sits at just 40.68%—dramatically lower than the district average of 75.02% and even below the state average of 54.03%. This "Algebra I bottleneck" is a school-specific challenge, as nearby Americas High School (48.39%) and J M Hanks High School (68.67%) perform better in this subject. Additionally, El Dorado's graduation rate of 88.3% is the lowest among the four comprehensive high schools in Socorro ISD, while its dropout rate of 1.3% is the highest. These metrics suggest that the school faces unique challenges compared to its district peers like Montwood High School (93.5% graduation rate) and Pebble Hills High School (91.9% graduation rate).

Despite these challenges, El Dorado shows notable strengths in serving specific student groups, ranking in the 61st percentile for its African American students and performing well for English Language Learners (64th percentile) and low socio-economic status students (65th percentile). The school also excels in Biology (70.56% proficiency) and U.S. History (75% proficiency), indicating that the math struggles are not a reflection of overall academic ability. However, the school underperforms for its White students (35th percentile) and Gifted & Talented students (34th percentile), suggesting that advanced programs may need improvement. Overall, El Dorado is a school with clear bright spots but faces a critical need to address its math curriculum and graduation rates to match the success of its district neighbors.
