Raul Longoria Elementary

Raul Longoria Elementary sits in Pharr, a working-class city in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley where tight-knit communities and a strong sense of local pride are part of everyday life. The school shows some real bright spots — particularly in science, where it outperforms a majority of Texas schools — though English and math scores suggest families may want to look for additional academic support outside the classroom. It could be a solid fit for families who value community connection and are willing to stay engaged in their child's learning journey.
