What stands out at Vista Del Futuro Charter School
Vista Del Futuro Charter School is a higher-need, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in El Paso, Texas, enrolling 367 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 17.5:1 puts it in the larger third of Texas schools by student-teacher ratio.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 58.4% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 367 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 96% of the 8,960 Texas schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,121 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Texas schools statewide, it ranks #1,107, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (89% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 20/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 367 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.5% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Vista Del Futuro Charter School is a single-school charter district, so Vista Del Futuro Charter School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
