Summary

Thrive Academy in El Paso, TX, is a small alternative high school serving 113 students in grades 9-12 within the Ysleta Independent School District (Isd), where over 92% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Thrive Academy faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools for three consecutive years. Test scores are critically low—for example, 0% of students were proficient in English I Reading in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 42.86% at nearby Riverside High School and 89.66% at Valle Verde Early College High School. The school’s dropout rate of 4.9% is more than four times the district average of 1.1%, and it is the highest among nearby traditional schools. While U.S. History shows a relative bright spot with 31.03% proficiency, this is still less than half the district average of 76.23%.

One of the most striking features is Thrive Academy’s exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 5.5:1, which is far lower than nearby comprehensive high schools like Bel Air High School (16.1:1) and Ysleta High School (15.3:1). However, this resource has not translated into academic success, suggesting the school serves a student population with profound needs that its current model is not fully addressing. Additionally, the school’s effectiveness with special education students dropped dramatically from the 96th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a major shift in programming or staffing. Compared to other alternative schools like Premier High School-Elementary Paso Eastpointe and El Paso Academy, Thrive’s poor performance is particularly concerning given its small class sizes, which other alternative schools lack.
