Jarrell Middle

Jarrell is one of those fast-growing small towns north of Austin along I-35 where the community feel is still very much intact, even as new neighborhoods continue to pop up around it. Jarrell Middle serves families who've landed here for the affordability and space that the Austin metro no longer offers, but the school's academic scores suggest there's still room to grow as the district works to keep pace with rapid population changes. Families who are proactive about supplementing their kids' education and value a tight-knit, small-town environment over a highly competitive academic scene may find it a comfortable fit.
