Judson Middle

Judson Middle sits in Converse, a working-class suburb on San Antonio's northeast side where military families from nearby Randolph Air Force Base mix with long-rooted locals. The school shows some real promise in science, punching above its overall ranking in that subject, though English and math scores suggest there's room to grow. Families who are active in their kids' education and looking for a tight-knit community school in an affordable corner of the greater San Antonio area may find it a solid fit, especially if they're willing to supplement academics at home.
