Eidee O. Salinas: This school is great. The dual language program is awsome. My son has been in this school since preK and now is in 1st grade. He writes/reads in Spanish and English. He is learning so much. I reccomend this school to any parent who wants higher education for schools.

Raul Yzaguirre School for Success
Griselda Garcia: My 4 year old attended the Raul Yzaguirre School in Brownsville Texas and at first I was not to sure how things were going to work with there dual language program but I have to say I was so very surprised at how well my daughter did in school. She learned so much and her teacher was excellant.
I am just so sadden that my son will not have the same oppertunity to start this year at the school since they did away with the 3 & 4 year old program. I wish there was something that can be done in order to bring back the pre-K 3 & pre-K 4 program to the school.
