Francesca Neal - Principal
Hello, my name is Francesca L. Neal and I am the principal of Raba Elementary School. It is an honor and privilege to serve your student as well as the entire Raba community. I have been working in education for over 20 years. Before working as an administrator, I served in the United States Air Force, worked as an accountant/auditor for Lockheed Martin, taught elementary in California, then continued my career in NISD as a middle school math teacher, math coordinator and math specialist after my family was stationed in San Antonio.
Here at Raba, we want to develop each child’s individual problem solving and critical thinking skills to turn them into lifelong learners. I strive to create a school culture where ALL staff members truly believe that ALL students can and will succeed. We use data to drive instruction and focus on the individual needs of each and every child. The data drives a RTI (Response to Intervention) class period where teachers differentiate their Math or Reading instruction in order to meet an individual students' needs who may excel or have difficulties in any core content. I am truly blessed to work with the best students, parents and staff.
At Raba we are:
Learning Today and Leading Tomorrow!!!
