Henderson Middle

Henderson Middle sits in the heart of East Texas, where the pace is slower and the community ties run deep — but families here should know that academic outcomes at this school fall well below state averages, particularly in English and Math. It may be a good fit for families who value a close-knit, small-town environment and are prepared to supplement their student's learning at home or through outside resources. Rusk County has a lot of charm, with its pine forests and tight community feel, but parents with strong academic priorities will want to stay closely involved in their child's progress here.
