Christoval Elementary

Christoval Elementary sits in a small ranching community just south of San Angelo, where the Concho River country gives way to open ranchland and a tight-knit, rural way of life. The school punches well above its size, with particularly strong science scores that stand out even at the state level — a great fit for families who want a close community feel without sacrificing academic rigor. It's the kind of place where teachers know every kid by name, and the slower pace of small-town Texas living is a genuine draw for families looking to put down roots outside the city.
