Ruben Chavira Elementary

Del Rio sits right on the Texas-Mexico border, giving it a rich bicultural identity that shapes daily life in this tight-knit community. Ruben Chavira Elementary reflects that border-town character, and while its academic scores are still developing — with science showing the most promise — families here are part of a close community where school and neighborhood life tend to blend together. It's a good fit for families who value cultural roots and want to be actively involved in helping their kids grow within a school that has room to improve alongside them.
