Austin Middle

Austin Middle stands out in a striking way — while its English and math scores are developing, its science program ranks in the 96th percentile statewide, which is genuinely remarkable for a mid-sized island city school. Galveston itself is a one-of-a-kind place to grow up, with a tight-knit coastal community, rich Gulf Coast history, and a real sense of local pride that shapes school culture. Families drawn to hands-on, inquiry-driven learning — especially anything touching on marine science, ecology, or the natural world right outside the classroom door — may find Austin Middle's science strength a real draw.
