Norberto R. asks: What are the safe/good high schools in El Paso? I'm PCS'ing there in April and I have a 14 year old daughter. My wife just talked to a friend of hers that was stationed at Bliss and her friend said that it was the worst 3 yrs she had to go through.
Her daughter which was in high school was bullied to the point that she had to quit her job to be able to drop and pick her daughter at school. I'm really concerned. Thanks for your input.
