Schools in La Salle County

Measured against Texas as a whole, La Salle County's schools land in the lower half of statewide rankings — none reach the top quartile, and the district's four public schools are all served by a single district centered on Cotulla. That concentration means families here are choosing between schools rather than between systems. Frank Newman Middle School is the county's strongest performer, sitting at the 50th percentile statewide, while Cotulla High School follows at the 31st. For families prioritizing highly ranked schools, the options are limited, but the district's compact size can make it straightforward to navigate.
