Zapata High School

Zapata High School sits in the small border community of Zapata, right along the shores of Falcon Lake in far South Texas — a tight-knit town where most families have deep roots and the school is very much the heart of the community. The school shows some real strength in math relative to its other subjects, which may reflect dedicated teachers working hard in a resource-limited environment. Families here tend to value the close relationships students build with teachers and peers that only a small-town school can offer, even as the district works to raise the bar in English and science.
