Summary

Bel Air Middle in El Paso, TX, serves 1,002 students in grades 6-8 within the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top 25% of Texas school districts. The school has a high poverty rate, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and has consistently ranked in the 40th-49th percentile statewide over the past several years, earning a 2-star rating.

Bel Air Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, where 86.36% of students were proficient in the most recent school year, far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and outperforming nearby schools like Eastwood Middle (89.71%) and Hanks Middle (92.24%). This is a powerful testament to the school's ability to identify and accelerate high-potential students in mathematics, regardless of socioeconomic background. However, a consistent pattern across Bel Air and nearly all nearby schools is a dramatic drop in math proficiency between 6th and 7th grade, with Bel Air's 7th-grade math proficiency plummeting to just 14.15% in the 2025-2026 school year, far below the state average of 29.41%. This suggests a systemic challenge in the 7th-grade math curriculum or instruction across the region.

Bel Air Middle also shows a notable ability to serve specific student subgroups better than the school as a whole, ranking in the 59th percentile for Hispanic students and the 68th percentile for Special Education students in the 2025-2026 school year. This is significantly higher than the school's overall 48th percentile rank, indicating that the school's instructional strategies and support systems are particularly effective for these populations. While Bel Air is a solid middle-of-the-pack school within its own district, it faces stiffer competition from higher-performing schools in the neighboring Socorro Independent School District (Isd), such as William D Slider Middle (80th percentile) and Montwood Middle (68th percentile).
