Desert Hills Elementary

Desert Hills Elementary sits in the fast-growing far east El Paso area, where newer subdivisions have brought a lot of young families to the region over the past decade. The school serves a community that's still finding its footing academically, with scores that land in the lower-middle range statewide, though math shows a bit more strength than other subjects. Families drawn to the area's affordable housing and tight-knit neighborhood feel will find a school that reflects the community it serves, and there's real room for growth as this part of El Paso continues to develop.
