Great Weather- Great Scenery- But that's about it

I was raised in El Paso for 20 years of my life. When I lived there you couldnt tell me that anywhere was better. I loved it there, until I moved and saw the quality of life elsewhere. El Paso is beautiful if you are in to the desert scene and the weather is absolutely great. The schools are not all that great. I remember in 12th grade a teacher calling on each student to read out loud and 80% of the class couldnt even read a paragraph. If you are younger and looking for excitement, there isn't much to do. I suggest this city for older people looking to retire. I wouldnt suggest it as a place to raise a child. The crime has gotten pretty bad and there are not many jobs. That's the reason I moved. It's not horrible, but it's not great either.
