Dr William Long Elementary

Pharr sits in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, a tight-knit community where family and local pride run deep, and Dr. William Long Elementary reflects that spirit well. The school stands out especially in science, where it ranks in the top quarter statewide — a real bright spot for families with curious, hands-on learners. This is a neighborhood school in the truest sense, and families rooted in the Valley who want solid academics with a strong community feel will find a lot to like here.
