Summary:
In zip code 79925, there is one middle school, Wiggs Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in El Paso, Texas, as part of the El Paso Independent School District (Isd).
Wiggs Middle has 943 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.2:1. The school shows a mixed performance picture. It excels in 8th grade reading (61.59% proficient) and 8th grade math (50.49% proficient), both well above district and state averages. Its Algebra I proficiency is a standout at 69.44%, far exceeding the district (50.89%) and state (54.03%). However, there are significant concerns in 7th grade math, where proficiency dropped to 0% in the most recent year, and 6th grade math also underperforms the state. The school's overall state ranking has declined from the 66th percentile to the 53rd percentile over three years, despite local strengths.
Nearly 70% of students are economically disadvantaged, yet the school achieves above-average results in several subjects. A positive sign is the low dropout rate of 0.9%, half the district average. The dramatic one-year jump in Algebra I proficiency from 45.72% to 69.44% warrants further investigation. While Wiggs Middle has effective strategies in some areas, the severe struggles in 7th grade math are a critical issue that parents should explore with the school.
