La Feria Independent School District

The La Feria Independent School District (LFISD) comprises four elementary schools: Sam Houston, C.E. Vail, David G. Sanchez and Noemi Dominguez, one Middle School: W.B. Green, and one High School: La Feria. LFISD is ranked as a 3A school district. Its rival school is Port Isabel. Its mascot is the Lion, colors are maroon and gold, and motto is Expect, Achieve, Excel.

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.

Athletics include: Football, Basketball (Boys and Girls), Cross Country (B&G), Volleyball, Tennis (B&G), Soccer (B&G), Track and Field (B&G), Baseball, and Softball. During the 2008-2009 Football season, Rio Grande Valley History was made, as the La Feria Lions recorded the valley's first ever post-season football win at the Alamodome, defeating the heavily favored Bandera Bulldogs 31-14.

When Noemi Dominguez Elementary School was under construction, the School Board asked the residents of the city to generate a list of names for the new school. Forms were provided in the local newspaper, and residents wrote their choices and delivered it to the main office. A large majority of the vote was in favor of naming the school after retired principal and teacher, Mrs. Ruth Johnson or principal Carlos Verduzco. However, the school board chose a name that was not proposed by any significant percentage of the respondents. They named it after Noemi Dominguez, a 1991 graduate of La Feria High School who obtained her BA from Rice University and was a teacher in the Houston ISD pursuing a Masters in Education from the University of Houston before her life was cut short by Ángel Maturino Reséndiz. The school board's decision to name the new elementary school after Dominguez was a tribute to the short life of a local Mexican American woman.
