Colin L Powell Elementary

Colin L. Powell Elementary sits in El Paso's northeast side, a part of the city with deep military ties given its proximity to Fort Bliss — so it's no surprise this school has a tight-knit, community-oriented feel that military and working families tend to appreciate. Scores land around the middle of the pack statewide, with English being a relative strength, and there's room to grow in math. Families who value a stable, familiar neighborhood school in a genuinely unique border city — where the culture, food, and community all reflect El Paso's distinct character — will find a comfortable fit here.
