Alief Middle

Alief Middle sits in the heart of southwest Houston's Alief neighborhood, one of the most culturally diverse corners of the city — a place where dozens of languages are spoken and international restaurants line Bellaire Boulevard. The school serves a community that's working hard, and families drawn to that rich multicultural environment will find a school that reflects the world their kids are growing up in. Science scores show some relative strength, which is worth noting for families keeping an eye on STEM development in the middle grades.
