My four children attended this school for two years. Two in elementary and two in middle school. Both schools lacked teachers, books and promises of extracarricular activitiesthat were never fulfilled. When I first enrolled my children we were promised the school was at a higher teaching level than
... Read more public schools. The assistant principal said this school was a year ahead of all schools. This is such a joke, because when I put them back in public schools my kids were very behind. I had to have one of my kids repeat a year. To now the effects of my mistake in enrolling them in EPSE is being felt by the two lost years. I do not know why this school is still around, it offers nothing, only empty promises! Read less

I will definitely not enroll my children in this school the following year. I feel sorry for them all and especially for the few teachers that are there to help the students but don't get the back-up support from administration and fellow collegues. Read less

This school is a waste of federal and state money. They never have enough resources for students and teachers - not enough books, no proper classroom supplies, and they even have teachers who do not have a clue how to teach the subject matter properly!

This is my child's 3rd year at El Paso School of Excellence. After attending a public school for six years these past 3 years have been the best as far as grades and teachers. The small classes are great and allows the teachers a better chance to help everyone which is never possible in a public school.

I will never put my child in a public school again and even though they may have more experience and are better paid I believe the teachers at EPSE are there because they are there to help the students not just because of the money. Also the staff is always there to listen if you have any questions or problems. Read less
