Austin High School

Austin High School sits in the heart of El Paso, a city defined by its deep border culture, tight-knit neighborhoods, and strong sense of community pride — and the school reflects that spirit. Academics here are a work in progress, with scores across English, math, and science placing it in the lower tier statewide, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options carefully. That said, for families rooted in the west El Paso community who value local connection and want their kids close to home, Austin High is a familiar landmark in a neighborhood where many families have sent their children for generations.
