However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the Ysleta ISD. There appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower test scores. Identifying and replicating the practices of the district's standout schools could help drive improvement and more equitable outcomes for all students in the Ysleta ISD.
