Highland Park Middle

Highland Park Middle stands out in Amarillo's northwest side for its notably strong science program, which gives it a real edge for families with kids who love hands-on learning and STEM subjects. It sits in a working-class corner of Potter County where community ties run deep, and parents who are looking for a neighborhood school with genuine strengths — rather than flashy extras — tend to feel right at home here. Amarillo itself offers affordable living, wide-open spaces, and a tight-knit feel that makes middle school a little less daunting when the school feels like part of the community.
