El Paso Academy

El Paso Academy stands out in the 79935 corridor for its surprisingly strong math and science performance — that science score in particular puts it well ahead of most schools in the region, making it a solid pick for families with kids who lean toward STEM. Situated in the eastern part of El Paso near the Loop 375 area, it draws from a tight-knit, working-class community where schools tend to carry a real sense of local pride. Families looking for a charter option that punches above its weight in the sciences, without the commute to the west side, will find it worth a close look.
