About schools in Starr County
Twenty-seven public schools across four districts give Starr County families more options than the county's rural South Texas footprint might suggest. Stretching along the Rio Grande through Rio Grande City, Roma, and smaller communities like Grulla and Garciasville, the county draws nearly a third of its ranked schools into the top quartile statewide — a strong showing for a region often overlooked in Texas education conversations. Roma ISD in particular stands out, producing some of the state's most impressive elementary results: Emma Vera Elementary ranks at the 100th percentile statewide, with Florence J Scott Elementary close behind at the 99th. Families researching this corner of the state will find real academic momentum worth taking seriously.
