Roy Benavidez Elementary

Roy Benavidez Elementary sits in the south San Antonio community, named after the legendary Medal of Honor recipient who himself grew up in tough circumstances — a fitting namesake for a school serving a tight-knit, working-class neighborhood. Families here are deeply rooted in the Southside, where the culture is proud and the community bonds run strong, even as the school works to build academic momentum for its students. For families committed to their neighborhood school and drawn to the Southside's authentic San Antonio character, Benavidez offers a familiar, community-centered environment where staff know their kids personally.
