La Joya Palmview High School

Palmview High sits in the fast-growing Mission area of the Rio Grande Valley, a tight-knit border community where family and local pride run deep. The school shows some relative strength in math compared to its English and science scores, which could matter for families weighing where to focus their student's academic support. Families who are rooted in the Valley and looking for a school with strong community ties — and who are prepared to supplement academics at home or through tutoring — will find Palmview a familiar, neighborhood-centered option.
