Giles Middle

La Marque sits just inland from Galveston Bay, and Giles Middle serves a community that faces some real academic headwinds — families considering this school should know that it currently ranks near the bottom of Texas middle schools, with particularly low scores in English and Science. That said, the area has a tight-knit, working-class character, and families who are deeply engaged in their child's education may find ways to supplement what the school offers through Galveston County's broader resources, including proximity to the coast and the University of Texas Medical Branch just down the road in Galveston. It's a school that would benefit most from families ready to be active partners in their child's learning journey.
