140 Shadow Mountain Dr,
El Paso,
TX
79912
El Paso sits where West Texas, New Mexico, and the Mexican state of Chihuahua converge, giving the city a cross-border identity that shapes everything from its architecture to its daily rhythm. With the Franklin Mountains rising inside city limits and the Rio Grande forming its southern edge, the geography alone sets it apart from anywhere else in Texas. Fort Bliss, one of the largest U.S. Army installations in the country, and the University of Texas at El Paso are two of the city's most significant economic and institutional anchors. The Chamizal National Memorial marks the site of a peacefully resolved international border dispute, a piece of history few American cities can claim.
Neighborhoods range widely in character. Manhattan Heights offers historic homes close to downtown, while Northeast El Paso spreads out with newer residential development near Fort Bliss. Kern Place, adjacent to UTEP's campus, has an established, walkable feel.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
