RINGGOLD EL

RINGGOLD EL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the RIO GRANDE CITY GRULLA ISD school district, located in RIO GRANDE CITY, TX with about 465 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 32 teachers, RINGGOLD EL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

RINGGOLD ELementary, located in the historic Fort Ringgold area of Rio Grande City, Texas, is a key component of the Rio Grande City Grulla Independent School District (RGCGISD).

As part of a district deeply rooted in community values, RINGGOLD ELementary focuses on providing a supportive academic environment that emphasizes foundational literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development for its young learners.

The school benefits from its unique location within the former Fort Ringgold, a site of significant historical interest, which often serves as a backdrop for local pride and community engagement. Operationally, the school prioritizes state-aligned curriculum standards while striving to close achievement gaps through targeted instruction and bilingual education programs. By fostering a close-knit school culture, RINGGOLD ELementary aims to prepare its students for a successful transition into middle school and beyond, ensuring they are equipped with both the academic skills and the resilience needed to succeed in a diverse and evolving border region.
