Sam Houston Elementary

Sam Houston Elementary stands out in the Rio Grande Valley with particularly strong science scores that put it among the top schools in Texas — a real draw for families who want their kids building that foundation early. Weslaco sits in the heart of the Valley, a tight-knit border community where schools tend to serve families who are deeply invested in education as a path forward, and Sam Houston reflects that spirit. If you're settling into the Weslaco area and want a neighborhood school with genuine academic strengths, this one is worth a close look.
