The school's test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Alicia R. Chacon International and Ysleta Elementary are also top-performing elementary schools in the area, ranking in the top 12% and 16% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, with high proficiency rates in reading and math.

However, there is a significant gap in performance between the highest-achieving and lowest-performing schools in the 79907 zip code. The charter schools, particularly Harmony Science Academy and Harmony School of Excellence - El Paso, are outperforming the traditional public schools on metrics like graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores. The lower-performing schools, such as Premier High School-Elementary Paso Eastpointe, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state average. This highlights the need to understand the factors contributing to these disparities and implement strategies to support the lower-performing schools in the area.
