I'm not really sure why you posted this under homeschooling, or what exactly you are asking, but we are army homeschoolers who live near Fort Bliss, which is in El Paso, so I thought I's give it a shot. First off, I thought that Biggs was closed in the 60's? I believe it is now called Biggs ARMY airfield. If there are air force units here in El Paso they must be very small, which means the kids probably either go to school on Fort Bliss with the army brats for elementary, or off post for high school. Fort Bliss is a very, very large post, and they have many different elementary schools. If you are asking about the quality of army schools on Bliss in general (poor-to-fair, depending) or El Paso area schools (consistantly fail to meet any standards, most kids in a class are way below grade level, some don't even speak english at all, my husband's sisters grauated without ever having read a whole book!) I don't know for sure offhand if the highschool is on post or not, Bliss is big enough that there might be one on there, but if you are a DOD employee or dependant go to the relocation engine at SITES (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/sites/) and you can pull up all sorts of information about any military base no matter the branch, but if Biggs is closed you won't find anything there, and would need to look under Fort Bliss!
