Ysleta Independent School District

The Ysleta Independent School District is one of El Paso's finest educational institutions, with origins dating back to the early 1900s. With a focus on quality and engaging instruction, YISD is a consistent leader in student achievement and employee satisfaction. It is the third-largest school district in the city, with more than 38,000 students and over 5,000 employees at our 56 campuses and Central Office. Known as "The District of Champions," Ysleta ISD has a long and distinguished tradition of excellence. Desertaire Elementary School became the 12th Ysleta ISD school to win the highly coveted National Blue Ribbon School award in 2020, and two additional campuses – Vista Hills and Ramona elementary schools– were selected for the 2021 National Blue Ribbon School designation. The majority of our high schools are routinely named among the "Best High Schools in America" every year by U.S. News & World Report, and our sports teams have brought home an impressive five state championships in girls wrestling, boys cross-country, and soccer since 2018, as well as numerous individual gold, silver, and bronze medals. Additionally, our student musicians, singers, and artists are regularly recognized as among the best in the state and nation for their outstanding performances and artwork.
