About Face JJAEP is listed in the database as an alternative school serving middle grades within El Paso ISD. The school is currently inactive, meaning it is not in operation.

For families in El Paso, the broader educational context is worth understanding. El Paso ISD is in the midst of significant restructuring. The district has closed a series of elementary schools as part of its "Destination District Redesign," responding to declining enrollment and budget pressures. The first wave of closures took effect in 2025-26, affecting how children are assigned to campuses and busing routes. Simultaneously, the district has been expanding specialized programs—Montessori education, STEM and Fine Arts academies, Extended Day Learning Centers, and an Accelerated Campus Excellence program—across remaining campuses. This combination of contraction and program innovation is creating a shifting landscape of educational options.
The district's property tax rate was lowered for 2024-25, though rising property values mean most homeowners still saw an increase in their monthly costs. EPISD is also laying groundwork for a potential bond election as early as November 2026, which would fund facility upgrades including replacing aging evaporative coolers with air conditioning, improving security, and supporting consolidated campuses. These facility and tax matters are relevant to families considering the district.
About Face JJAEP's absence from current operations means it does not represent a pathway for enrollment at this time. Anyone seeking information about active middle-grade options within El Paso ISD would need to inquire directly with the district about current alternative and specialized programs available at functioning campuses.
