Lawson Middle

Lawson Middle sits in the Fondren Southwest area of Houston, a diverse, working-class neighborhood on the city's southwest side where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school shows some relative strength in math compared to its other subjects, but families looking for strong academic outcomes across the board may want to weigh their options carefully in this part of Houston ISD. That said, for families already rooted in this corner of the city, it can be worth connecting with other local parents to get a fuller picture of what day-to-day life at Lawson actually looks like beyond the numbers.
