Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

While I appreciated the chance of being in Rio Grande City High School because not many people have the opportunity to study, the overall experience in this school was not as excitedly as I expected. Nonetheless, I did meet a few individuals (more teachers) that made my life easier and helped me throughout my entire four years of high school. I appreciate their hard-work and dedication to their job.

Throughout my time at Rio Grande City High School it has been nothing but an incredible experience due to the environment created by our leaders. Within the school there is an endless amount of extracurricular activities for students not to mention the admirable teachers at the high school as well. It has always been a very safe educational space for students and staff which is incredibly important.

My experience in High School was exceptional, except for the fact that my senior year was online. There was an online prom, no pep-rallies, football games, sports, or anything for that matter. Other than my senior year, my other years in school were amazing. I got loads of experience and I graduated top 10% in my class.

Despite economic disadvantages and proximity to the border, students have performed fairly high on the TAKS tests. Schools have demonstrated progress on a year to year basis.
