Allen & William Arnold Elementary

Pharr sits in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, a tight-knit, predominantly Hispanic community where family and school pride run deep — and Arnold Elementary fits right into that culture. The school punches above its weight in science especially, landing in the 80th percentile statewide, which is a real standout for families with kids who are curious about how the world works. Families looking for a solid neighborhood school in a close community, where teachers tend to know their students by name, will feel right at home here.
