Lively Middle

Lively Middle sits in the heart of 78704 — one of Austin's most vibrant zip codes, home to South Congress, Bouldin Creek, and Travis Heights — making it a school surrounded by a tight-knit, eclectic community that genuinely cares about its neighborhood institutions. Families here tend to be deeply rooted in South Austin's creative, independent spirit, and the school draws a diverse mix of kids from long-time locals and newer arrivals alike. Academics are a work in progress, with English scores hovering near the middle of the pack statewide and math and science still finding their footing, but for families invested in the community and willing to engage, there's real potential in a school that reflects the character of one of Austin's most beloved neighborhoods.
