Barbara Fasken Elementary

Barbara Fasken Elementary stands out in Midland's competitive west-side school landscape, particularly for its strong math and science programs that reflect the analytical, problem-solving culture you'd expect in an oil-and-gas town. Families drawn to STEM-leaning academics will feel right at home here, and the school's science scores especially put it among the stronger performers across the state. Midland itself is a tight-knit, hardworking community where a good chunk of the city takes real pride in its schools, and Fasken fits that mold well.
