Live Oak Ridge Middle

Killeen sits in the heart of Central Texas near Fort Cavazos, and Live Oak Ridge Middle serves a community that's deeply tied to military life — meaning the student body is diverse, resilient, and constantly evolving as families rotate in and out. The school has room to grow academically, and families who are proactive about supplementing learning at home or connecting with teachers directly will likely get the most out of the experience here. It's a solid option for military families settling into the area who want their kids in a neighborhood school while they find their footing in the Killeen community.
