Medina Valley High School

Medina Valley High School sits in Castroville, a small historic town just west of San Antonio that proudly calls itself "The Little Alsace of Texas" — and the school has a similarly distinct character. Academically, it punches above its weight for a rural district, with particularly strong science scores and solid English performance that give students a real foundation heading into college or a trade. Families who want a tight-knit community feel without sacrificing academic opportunity, and who don't mind the easy commute corridor into San Antonio, tend to thrive here.
