Hughes Middle

Hughes Middle sits in Burleson, a fast-growing suburb just south of Fort Worth where you get a genuine small-town feel without being far from the city. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math and science as relative strengths — a solid fit for families settling into this area who want a comfortable, community-rooted middle school experience. Burleson's been drawing a lot of families looking for affordable housing and a slower pace than the Metroplex, and Hughes reflects that approachable, neighborhood-school vibe.
