Gene Howe Elementary

Gene Howe Elementary sits in the southwest corner of Amarillo, in a corner of the city that has a quieter, more suburban feel compared to the bustle of central Amarillo. The school's academics are fairly middle-of-the-road, with English scores outpacing math, so families with kids who lean toward reading and writing may feel especially at home here. Canyon ISD has a solid reputation for community involvement and a strong local identity, making it a reasonable fit for families who value a tight-knit school culture in a neighborhood that feels a bit removed from the city's core.
