Travis Elementary

Mercedes is a small, tight-knit city in the Rio Grande Valley where community ties run deep and families tend to stay close to home. Travis Elementary sits in the mid-range of what's a competitive South Texas landscape, with math and science scores showing more promise than English at this point — something families who are invested in literacy development might want to keep in mind. It could be a good fit for parents who are actively involved in their child's learning and looking for a neighborhood school with room to grow alongside them.
