Atkins Middle

Atkins Middle serves students in the southern part of Lubbock, a flat, wind-swept West Texas city where Friday night football and tight-knit neighborhoods define the culture. The school faces some academic headwinds, with scores sitting below the state middle, but families in this part of town tend to have deep roots in the community and a strong sense of loyalty to their local schools. For families looking to get involved and help build something, Atkins could be a place where that kind of engagement really makes a difference.
