Jose Borrego Middle

Jose Borrego Middle sits in the small, tight-knit farming community of Monte Alto in the Rio Grande Valley, where school life tends to revolve closely around family and local tradition. The school shows some strength in English and Science relative to its overall standing, though math is an area where students and families may want to seek additional support. Families who value a smaller, community-rooted school environment — and who are willing to supplement academics at home or through tutoring — will find a school that knows its students by name rather than by number.
