Matias De Llano Elementary

Matias De Llano Elementary is one of the stronger academic options in Laredo, a border city with a tight-knit, deeply family-oriented culture where community roots run deep. Sitting in the 78045 zip code — one of the newer, more developed pockets of the city near the northern loop — this school draws families who want solid academics without leaving the community they love. With English and math scores well above state norms, it's a great fit for parents who prioritize strong foundational skills and want their kids close to home in a school that clearly delivers.
