Tornillo Independent School District is located approximately 35 miles southeast of El Paso.
Our District is one of 12 school districts in the Region 19 Education Service Center area.
Just recently, Tornillo ISD was one of the fastest growing districts in the State of Texas with a
student growth rate of between 15 and 20 percent. Our students are taught in four campuses:
Tornillo Elementary (Pre K through 3rd grade), Tornillo Intermediate (4th through 6th grade),
Tornillo Junior High (7th and 8th grade), and Tornillo High (9th through 12th grade). Our
facilities are rather new, well kept, and pleasant to work in.
