TELLES ACADEMY

TELLES ACADEMY is a Title I public high school that is part of the EL PASO ISD school district, located in EL PASO, TX with about 19 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, TELLES ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

TELLES ACADEMY, located in El Paso, Texas, is an alternative education campus within the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD). The school is designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a focused curriculum aimed at credit recovery, behavioral support, and academic acceleration. By providing a smaller, more personalized setting, TELLES ACADEMY seeks to re-engage students who have faced challenges in comprehensive high school environments and help them stay on track toward graduation.

The academy emphasizes a supportive culture that prioritizes student success through flexible instruction and individualized attention. Beyond academic coursework, the school often focuses on social-emotional growth and building the necessary skills for students to transition into higher education, the workforce, or military service. As part of EPISD, TELLES ACADEMY plays a vital role in the district’s mission to ensure that all students, regardless of their academic history or personal circumstances, have access to a high school diploma and a path toward future success.
