School Overview

Tucked in the small Rio Grande border city of Roma, R.T. Barrera Elementary punches well above its weight, landing in the top 6% of schools statewide with particularly standout math scores that rival schools in far larger and wealthier districts. Roma is a tight-knit, predominantly Hispanic community with deep roots and a strong sense of local pride, and families here clearly benefit from a school culture that takes academics seriously despite limited regional resources. If you're raising kids in Starr County and want a neighborhood school where the classroom expectations are genuinely high, Barrera is hard to overlook.
