One of the best schools of El Paso, both academically and athletic wise. They won two times in a row soccer state champions. They also had 2 of the 5 passing AP chemistry test in the YISD. Close Quote

I attended this high school, and graduated Class of 08. Overall, even though I have to give some credit to the administration for trying, the education you will get at this high school is completely substandard. Many of the faculty members are completely unsuited to teach the material, and their attempts to do so are notably incompetent. As far as the student body goes, the majority are completely unmotivated...if you're looking for academic camaraderie, you will certainly not find it here. Also, there is a notable number of behavioral disturbances which occur at the school on a yearly basis; it is definitely not a very secure environment. Close Quote
