Crenshaw El and Middle

Tucked away on the Bolivar Peninsula just across the bay from Galveston Island, Crenshaw El and Middle serves a tight-knit coastal community where the pace of life is a little slower and neighbors tend to know each other well. The school stands out for its strong science scores — a natural fit for kids growing up along the Gulf Coast, where the environment itself becomes part of the classroom. Families drawn to small-town, waterfront living who want a close community feel rather than a large suburban campus will find a lot to appreciate here.
