Education
La Villa is served by the La Villa Independent School District.
In January 2014 the school district had 625 students. During that month, shortly after the end of the winter holiday, because La Villa ISD refused to pay the City of La Villa's increased surcharge rate, the city shut off water and sewer services to the schools. They were forced to temporarily close.
In addition, South Texas Independent School District operates magnet schools that serve the community.
