Newman Elementary

Newman Elementary sits in the northeast corner of El Paso, a sprawling desert city where the Franklin Mountains meet the Texas-New Mexico border and military families from nearby Fort Bliss make up a big part of the community. The school's scores, particularly in science and math, reflect some room for growth, making it a better fit for families who are actively involved in their kids' learning and ready to supplement at home. That said, the tight-knit military and working-class neighborhood has a genuine sense of community, and families who put down roots here often find the area's warmth and affordable living make it a worthwhile place to raise kids.
