Henderson Elementary

Henderson Elementary sits in Midland, a West Texas oil town where the economy runs hot and the community takes pride in its tight-knit, hardworking roots. The school's scores sit below the state middle, though science shows a bit more strength relative to English and math, which may be an area of growth worth watching. Families drawn to Midland's affordable cost of living and strong local economy should look closely at school fit and consider supplementing at home or through tutoring to help their kids thrive.
