Raul Perales Middle

Raul Perales Middle stands out as one of the stronger middle schools in Laredo, particularly in science, where it ranks in the top fifth of schools statewide — a real bright spot for families with kids who are curious about the natural world. Sitting in Webb County along the U.S.-Mexico border, Laredo has a deeply rooted Hispanic culture, a tight-knit community feel, and a cost of living that makes it an appealing place to put down roots. Families looking for a solid, well-rounded middle school experience in a bilingual, community-oriented city will find a lot to like here.
