Black Middle

Tucked into the Oak Forest and Garden Oaks neighborhoods on Houston's northwest side, Black Middle sits in one of the city's most beloved pockets of bungalows, local restaurants, and tight-knit block culture. Families who plant roots here tend to love the area's walkable charm and strong sense of community, and the school reflects that with solid academics across the board — particularly in math and science. It's a good fit for families who want a well-rounded public school experience in a neighborhood where people tend to stick around and get involved.
