Summary

William D Slider Middle in El Paso, TX, is a 6th-8th grade campus in the Socorro Independent School District (Isd) serving 627 students, and it has earned a 4-star rating by ranking in the 80th percentile statewide—a remarkable recovery from a low point just a few years ago.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to help all students succeed, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. In the latest rankings, Slider Middle ranks in the 88th percentile for both Hispanic students and students from low socio-economic status families, which is significantly higher than its overall rank. This means the school is especially effective at closing achievement gaps. A standout subject is 8th Grade Social Studies, where 45.88% of students are proficient—far above the district average of 35.08% and the state average of 31.69%. While nearby schools like Ssg Manuel R Puentes and Special Rafael Hernando Middle are also strong, Slider Middle leads its district peers in this area. In contrast, the closest school, El Paso Leadership Academy - Middle East, ranks in the 6th percentile, highlighting Slider Middle’s exceptional effectiveness.

Another strength is math acceleration. While 7th-grade math scores appear at 0% proficiency, this is likely because advanced students take the Algebra I End-of-Course exam instead—and Slider Middle excels there, with 85% proficient compared to the state’s 54%. The school also shows a powerful recent improvement in supporting students in special education, jumping from the 47th percentile to the 81st percentile in one year. This consistent upward trend over four years makes Slider Middle a top-tier choice within the Socorro Independent School District (Isd) and a model for equitable academic achievement.
