Original Research by School Decision on Anthony Isd - Daep
ANTHONY ISD operates a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) in the town of Anthony, a small border community in northwestern El Paso County, Texas. The school is listed as inactive in current records, meaning it is no longer operational.
A DAEP is a specialized placement designed to serve students who have been removed from regular classrooms due to serious disciplinary infractions. These programs typically operate within a school district's structure to provide continuation of education for students during disciplinary removal periods, with an emphasis on behavioral support and reintegration planning. The program was housed at a location in downtown Anthony, near the district's administrative offices and the town's civic center.
Anthony is a predominantly residential border town of modest size, situated about a short drive north of El Paso. The community is mixed in character: its workforce spans office and administrative support, sales, food service, and other occupations. The housing market in the area is relatively affordable compared to state and national benchmarks, with a median home value below both the Texas and national average. The local employment base includes a federal low-security correctional facility and the school district itself as major employers, along with nearby retail anchoring in the larger El Paso region.
The town itself is car-dependent and low-density, with civic functions concentrated in a small core near where the school district's campuses sit. A Texas Travel Information Center on the interstate provides some regional access, but public transit is limited locally. This is the physical and economic context in which the program operated.
Enrollment data, student demographics, academic performance results, and staffing information were not available in the records reviewed. These gaps prevent a full picture of who the program served, how many students were enrolled, or what their outcomes were. The program's inactive status means it is no longer accepting new placements. Parents or residents with questions about discipline-related placements or alternative education services in Anthony ISD should contact the district directly to understand what current options exist for students requiring specialized support or separation from the regular school environment.
