At Briggs Ranch we understand that finding the right school is an important part of choosing the perfect place to call home. That is why families with young children are excited to be zoned to LaCoste Elementary, a highly regarded Medina Valley ISD campus serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade. 

A School That Stands Apart

Known for its welcoming atmosphere and engaging instruction, LaCoste Elementary helps young learners build a strong academic foundation, earning an impressive A- rating from Niche. In 2026, the school ranked No. 8 out of 331 for Best Public School Teachers in the San Antonio Area—a true testament to its passionate and skilled educators. Plus, it’s celebrated as one of the Top 10 Standout Elementary Schools in the area.  

Recognition for Academic Achievement

The school has also earned recognition for academic achievement by ranking in the top 20 percent of Texas schools for math and reading proficiency, according to Public School Review. Students are encouraged to go beyond memorization and develop the skills they need to think critically, solve problems, and approach new challenges with confidence.  

Learning Continues Beyond the Bell

Busy families appreciate having enriching before- and after-school options close to home. The Right At School program at LaCoste Elementary gives students opportunities to keep learning, playing, and connecting with friends after the traditional school day ends.  

With hands-on STEAM activities, creative projects, active games, and social skill-building experiences, the program balances educational enrichment with plenty of fun. In addition to before- and after-school care, RAS hosts school break camps and care for students on holidays.  

Other Schools Serving Briggs Ranch

In addition to LaCoste Elementary, Briggs Ranch students attend Loma Alta Middle School and Creek View High School. In the future, children in Briggs Ranch will be able to walk or bike to school as the community land plan includes space for an onsite elementary school and middle school. Stay tuned for updates from the school district on when those schools might start construction.
