Blackwell School

Blackwell School is a small but quietly impressive campus sitting in the wide-open ranchland of Nolan County, where the kind of tight-knit community that's hard to find in bigger cities is just a given. Science scores push into the top quarter of the state, and overall the school holds its own well above average for Texas — a real accomplishment for a district this size. Families drawn to rural West Texas life, where kids know their teachers by name and Friday nights revolve around the hometown team, will find Blackwell a genuinely solid place to put down roots.
