Summary

Ysleta Elementary is a K-5 public school in El Paso, TX, serving 329 students in the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a school that consistently helps students from low-income backgrounds achieve strong academic results.

Ysleta Elementary is particularly effective at supporting its students, with a recent ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for its work with low-income students—far exceeding its overall ranking. The school’s math program is a clear strength, with 4th-grade proficiency rates consistently above both district and state averages. This success is especially notable when compared to nearby Capistrano Elementary, which serves a similar community but ranks in the 6th percentile, showing how Ysleta’s leadership and instruction are making a real difference. While math shines, 5th-grade science is an area for growth, with proficiency rates that have sometimes fallen below district averages. The school has also shown a strong rebound from pandemic-era learning disruptions, climbing from the 46th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 67th percentile in the most recent data.

For parents, Ysleta Elementary offers a supportive environment where students, especially those from low-income families, can thrive. The school’s bilingual program shows promise, with strong results in 3rd-grade math for Spanish-proficient students, though results in 4th-grade reading have been inconsistent. While nearby Presa Elementary has a higher overall ranking, Ysleta’s focus on closing achievement gaps for its specific student population makes it a standout choice. If you’re looking for a school that is beating the odds and prioritizing math achievement, Ysleta Elementary is a strong option in the Ysleta ISD community.
