Farwell Elementary

Farwell Elementary sits right on the Texas-New Mexico state line, making it one of the more uniquely positioned schools in the Panhandle — kids here are literally growing up on the edge of two states. The school punches well above its size in English and math, which is a real draw for families in this tight-knit agricultural community where neighbors tend to know each other by name. If you're moving to Farwell for the wide-open spaces and small-town pace, this school fits that lifestyle well, with the kind of close community feel that's hard to find in bigger districts.
