Hector P Garcia is a Dual Language Academy. In 2014-15 school year, they met state standards and was one of the two elementary schools in Temple to receive a state distinction due to commended scores in science. Great school to become biliterate and bicultural.

I love Garcia. My son's teacher works hard to keep the kids challenged & make things fun in class. The entire staff are wonderful. There are family events throughout the year. Parent participation is welcome. The school has a very warm feel. My son has grown so much academically & socially at Garcia
