Howell Middle

Howell Middle sits in Victoria, a mid-sized South Texas city that blends ranching roots with a growing healthcare and energy sector — a community where families tend to put down deep roots. The school's scores reflect some real challenges, particularly in math, and families who prioritize academic rigor may want to look closely at how their student would be supported here. That said, Victoria ISD has been working to build up its middle school pipeline, and families already connected to the community often speak to the close-knit feel that smaller South Texas districts can offer.
