Bangs Middle

Bangs Middle sits in the small, tight-knit town of Bangs, just west of Brownwood in the Texas Hill Country edge, where Friday night football and a strong sense of community define everyday life. The school punches above its weight in science, and its English scores are equally solid, making it a decent academic option for families in this rural stretch of Brown County. Families who appreciate a smaller school environment where kids aren't just a number — and who don't mind the tradeoff of a more rural lifestyle for that close community feel — tend to find Bangs a comfortable fit.
