Mary Harper Middle

Dilley is a small South Texas town along I-35 in Frio County, deep in the brush country between San Antonio and Laredo, where tight-knit community ties tend to define school life as much as classroom performance. Mary Harper Middle serves a student body that faces real academic challenges, and families considering the school should know that test scores currently sit in the lower range statewide across English, math, and science. That said, small-town schools like this one often offer a close, familiar environment where students and teachers know each other well — something that can matter a great deal to families rooted in the Dilley community.
