Riverside Elementary

Riverside Elementary sits in the 79915 zip code on El Paso's lower east side, a working-class neighborhood with deep roots and a tight-knit, predominantly Hispanic community that takes real pride in its schools. The school faces some academic challenges, scoring in the lower range across English, math, and science compared to Texas schools statewide, so families who are actively involved in their child's learning and willing to supplement at home will likely get the most out of the experience here. For families already embedded in this corner of El Paso — close to the border, connected to the rhythms of a binational city — Riverside can still be a familiar, community-centered place to start a child's education.
