Gilbert Gerdes Junior High

Luling is a small South Texas town with deep roots in the oil and cattle industries, and Gilbert Gerdes Junior High reflects that tight-knit, everyone-knows-everyone community feel. Academics here fall in the lower range compared to schools statewide, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to weigh their options, but for those planted in Luling by work or family ties, this is the school where your kids will grow up alongside neighbors they've known since birth. It's the kind of place where school spirit and community connection often matter just as much as what's happening in the classroom.
