Escandon Elementary

Escandon Elementary stands out as one of the stronger campuses in Edinburg CISD, with particularly impressive science scores that place it in the top 12% statewide — a real bright spot for families who want their kids building strong STEM foundations early. Edinburg sits in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, a tight-knit, predominantly Hispanic community with deep cultural roots and a growing economy tied to the University of Texas RGV nearby.
