What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?
Check with post but my understanding is no local school is accredited. That said some of the kids attended San Jorge. It is a nice school and had our children not attended a school in Brownsville, we probably would have sent them there. - Apr 2018
The little children of consulate families often attend the local Montessori school. All others cross the border every day and attend private schools in Brownsville. The school system is not stellar and some families have not been happy with the schools. For others, it seems fine for the lower grades. There are some magnet schools that seem to be better than the regular public schools. - Aug 2016
Everyone sends their kid to private school in the U.S. The consulate provides an armored vehicle to take them across the border and back. They generally seemed happy. - Aug 2015
There are a few bilingual schools in town; a couple fully-immersed schools. You also have the option of taking your child to school in the US since it's 5 minutes away. I don't have kids so I don't have much detail on this. - Feb 2012
