Zapata South Elementary

Zapata South Elementary sits in the small border town of Zapata, right along the shores of Falcon Lake in deep South Texas — a tight-knit community where families tend to know their neighbors and local pride runs strong. The school performs right around the middle of the pack statewide, offering a solid foundation across English, math, and science in a district that serves a predominantly Hispanic community with deep roots in the region. Families drawn to a quieter, rural lifestyle along the Texas-Mexico border who want a neighborhood school with a genuine sense of community will feel right at home here.
