Dr Alejo Salinas Jr Elementary

Tucked into the small border city of Hidalgo, right along the Rio Grande across from Reynosa, Mexico, Dr. Alejo Salinas Jr. Elementary stands out as one of the stronger performing schools in this tight-knit South Texas community. Math scores in particular shine here, landing well above average for the state, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize strong foundational skills. Hidalgo itself has a deeply rooted sense of community and culture, and families who value that close connection between school and neighborhood will feel right at home here.
