Socorro High School

Summary:

Socorro High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in El Paso, Texas, with a student population of 2,484. The school is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which is ranked 345 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Socorro High School has a predominantly Hispanic student body (97.5%), it underperforms nearby high schools like Americas High, Eastlake High, and Ysleta High on key metrics such as graduation rates, dropout rates, and standardized test scores. For example, only 30.91% of Socorro High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to 61.73% for the district and 44.73% for the state.

The school's high poverty rates, with over 87% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to its academic challenges. Additionally, Socorro High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 1,105 out of 1,857 Texas high schools in 2018-2019 to 1,153 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. These findings suggest that Socorro High School may need targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide better educational opportunities for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
