Monahans blends convenience with a slower pace of life
The city of Monahans sits in the center of the Permian Basin, amid the busy West Texas oil industry, halfway between tiny Barstow and growing Odessa. This community’s accessible, middle-of-the-road status is the main draw for many of its 7,900 residents. Those who work in Barstow often choose Monahans for its larger number of amenities, while those who do business in bustling Odessa will often opt for this community's slower pace. “Monahans still has that homey feel,” says Kelly Clark, a Realtor with eXp Realty who sells throughout the Permian Basin. “If you want a small town [lifestyle], it is a great small town.”

Kids attend B- and C-rated schools, Friday night football is big
The Monahans-Wickett-Pyote Independent School District (ISD) serves the city and rates a B-minus on Niche. As of the 2025-2026 school year, Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD started enforcing Texas House Bill 1481, which prohibits students from having cell phones or any other personal communication devices on campus during the school day.
Kids begin school at Cullender Kindergarten Center, which has a B-minus rating on Niche, then head to B-rated Tatom Elementary for first and second grade. They attend third through sixth grade at C-plus-rated Parkway Elementary, then move on to C-plus-rated Walker Junior High and B-rated Monahans High. The Loboes, Monahans High’s football team, plays at Estes Memorial Stadium where its games draw big crowds. “This is West Texas, so Friday night football and cheering on the Loboes is a big thing in town,” Clark says.
Students can take advantage of numerous sports opportunities at Monahans High School.
