RECHS primarily serves the city, yet it enrolls students from nearby school districts such as Banquete, Calallen, Tuloso-Midway, and the census-designated community of North San Pedro.

Robstown Early College High School is noted for having vocational-technical programs offering courses such as cosmetology, health care professions, woodshop, and drafting.

The school’s athletics teams, known as the Robstown Cottonpickers, compete in baseball, football, cross country, track, volleyball, basketball, powerlifting, tennis, & softball.

The name is in reference to Hispanic migrant workers, whose presence and activity have been a noticeable influence on the city’s culture.

After influencers such as Kai Cenat visited the school and posted about it on their YouTube channels, it subsequently became a topic of discussion on TikTok and other platforms due to the name, which was construed by some to be racist.
