Jones Elementary

Jones Elementary sits in Midland, a West Texas oil-patch city where the economy runs hot and the community takes a lot of pride in its schools — though Jones's scores currently place it toward the lower end of the local and state spectrum, making it a better fit for families who prioritize neighborhood convenience and community connection over academic rankings. The school serves a zip code on Midland's west side, where tree-lined streets and established neighborhoods give it a settled, residential feel. Families who live nearby and value being close to home may find it a comfortable option, especially if they're engaged in supplementing academics with outside support.
