The best part of this school is the staff. They work really hard for the students and just getting to know them as people. They take time out of there day to talk to you and just have fun conversations about life.

I like Austin high-school. They have tons of resources and things to do. The teachers are very helpful and easy to communicate with. As a military child I have trouble adjusting but here at Austin I found "my people" very quick.

This schools as well as the majority of schools in El Paso is subpar at best. The only thing keeping most of these schools open are the magnet programs.
