Houston Middle

Houston Middle sits in west Amarillo, a working-class part of the city where families tend to put down roots and stay — but the school's current academic profile suggests it may be a better fit for families who are actively supplementing learning at home or exploring additional enrichment options outside the classroom. The scores lean strongest in math and science relative to English, so students with an interest in those subjects may find a more comfortable footing here. Amarillo itself is an affordable, unpretentious Panhandle city with a tight-knit feel, and families who are engaged and resourceful can make the most of what the community has to offer.
