El Dorado High School

Summary:

El Dorado High School is a public high school in El Paso, Texas, serving 2,245 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Socorro Independent School District, which is ranked 345 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

El Dorado High School has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 91.14% of students identifying as Hispanic. This is significantly higher than the state average for Texas high schools. The school has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 93.8% in 2018-2019 to 86.4% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and the graduation rates of nearby schools like Montwood High School (93.2%) and Pebble Hills High School (91.8%). Additionally, the school's dropout rate has fluctuated, ranging from 0.8% to 3.1%, which is generally higher than the dropout rates of nearby schools.

El Dorado High School's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed compared to the district and state averages. The school performs better in subjects like Biology and U.S. History, but struggles in Algebra I and English I/II Reading. Furthermore, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.43% to 75.23% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges and better serve 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.
