Summary

Ysleta Middle in El Paso, TX, is a public school serving 682 students in grades 6-8 within the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd), and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 7th percentile statewide to the 56th percentile over the past five years.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of high-needs students, outperforming many nearby schools. For instance, Ysleta Middle ranks in the 84th percentile for special education students and the 71st percentile for English Language Learners, both earning 4-star ratings. It also excels in math: 81% of students are proficient in Algebra I, far above the state average of 54%, and 8th-grade math proficiency (64.7%) is the highest among all Ysleta ISD middle schools, surpassing Eastwood Middle and Eastlake Middle. While 7th-grade math scores are a challenge—a trend seen across the district—the school’s low dropout rate (0.2%) and strong performance in 8th-grade reading (61.5%) highlight its overall effectiveness.

Ysleta Middle serves a high-poverty community, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it achieves better outcomes than similar schools like Riverside Middle (35th percentile) and Bel Air Middle (48th percentile). This suggests the school has implemented effective strategies to overcome challenges, making it a model for equity. However, there is room for growth in reading and social studies, where proficiency lags behind top performers like Eastlake Middle. Overall, Ysleta Middle’s upward trajectory and focus on supporting all students make it a compelling choice for families in the area.
