Rio Grande City is a nice city to live in the schools and the teachers are really good here especially the math teachers at Early College High School are excellent, and also the consolers there as well. They have a lot of restaurants, the environment there is great not many job opportunities there but it’s also no hard to get a job there mostly a bunch of businesses. Also, the community likes to get involved in a lot of ways to help out the city so that’s a huge plus if you would want to participate in some community action stuff.
Being born and raised in the city of Rio Grande provides a list of things to love about our small town. We are a small town located near the border in South Texas. We are at the port of entry going in and out of Camargo, Tamualipas. Also, being part of a small town gives us the opportunity of enrolling into a small public school compared to those which class is five hundred plus. Although there is not much to do, the company of other fellow residents make the town of Rio Grande City special. Something to change would be to have a much nicer scenery. As of today, it looks like a broken town, slowing falling apart.
Rio Grande City, for the most part, is a quiet rural town with a gradually growing population, which would be partially due to its proximity to the Starr County International Bridge and the bustling city of McAllen. Even though everyone may not know each other, we come together from time to time to help those in need (donations and soup kitchens) or to celebrate (local festival, fair, and other similar events).
