I'm in the IB program at Coronado. There's no doubt that Coronado is the best school. There are many clubs such as student council, fencing, debate, mock trial, sports, and much more. The teachers are qualified and genuinely care about their students. I give coronado 2 thumbs up and 5 stars.

This school is possibly the best in El Paso. College almost seems easy at times for me after the preparation my teachers gave me. The fine arts program is undersupported, yet the most succesful in the area. The orchestra, band, and choir have all preformed worldwide with high honors. The academics
