GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.

My experience at Idea weslaco has been very mixed. Ive been attending this school since 2012, i practically grew up here, they atmosphere is very loving, you build a sense of family and home here. There is help everywhere you look but there is also that feeling of being lost due to having everything handed to you.

I entered idea weslaco when I was a 6th grader. Today I am a a senior soon to be the second graduating class. My experience has been like no other. I've meet people who I know for a fact I wouldn't have met. All the teachers I have ever had and the teachers I do have today all cared about our education. My favorite part of attending idea weslaco is there motto team&family is highly used at that campus. Another part is making memories with my class mates. Especially those whose been there since 6th grade and see how far we have came. With the help of not only each other and our teachers but with the administrators at idea weslaco.
