I went to Radford when I was in the 6th grade, was NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE! However, that was 20 years ago. Found that everyone in my class had been in the same class since they started 1st grade there & I was seen as an interloper to their clique & bullied. Their curriculum & classes were in shambles & totally disorganized.

Back when I was there, the school seemed to attract many wealthy kids from Juarez too, found it really tough to fit in w/the lot of them. However, had a much better experience at Loretto, (however, that was high school) but have heard from many on this forum that they removed their kids from Loretto (which is all-girls after elementary school). The all-boys counterpart is Cathedral don't know about the school's quality of education, but had many friends who attended school there & are successful. It depends on the kids.

Some others are St. Joseph's & St. Patricks. Also EP Country Day School & St. Clement's.

Thanks to everyone for the quick responses. My child will be entering pre-k and I was attracted to Radford because of the small classes. I wasnt too impressed with the condition of the building and I dont know many who have attended the school. I looked into Loretto but we are agnostic and didnt want any religious curriculum involved. Its seems like El Paso is limited in its non parochial schools.
