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

I transferred my kids from a local district to TISD and enrolled them in Garcia. All of my children started making A's every six weeks since enrollment three semesters ago. This was a drastic improvement for F's and D's. The teachers really do care about the student and the parent. The school encourages care givers to be involved in their students education. The teachers helped my students achieve their best. Special programs are available quickly and they teach the parent how to help the student not just assign homework and let you guess or figure it out. You as a parent are on board with your child's education from the beginning. It is mainly christian in values and morals. It is the safe est school I have been to. They practice safety drills often, check all who come into the building and the make the student feel safe.
