Hardin Junior High

Hardin Junior High sits in the small, tight-knit community of Hardin, a rural town in Liberty County east of Houston where most families have deep roots and a real sense of place. The school shows some strength in English relative to its overall profile, though math and science scores suggest middle schoolers here may benefit from additional academic support outside the classroom. Families who value a close community feel and a slower-paced, small-town upbringing — and are willing to be proactive about supplementing academics — will find a school where everyone tends to know everyone else.
