Lorenzo De Zavala Middle

Lorenzo De Zavala Middle stands out as one of the stronger academic performers in the Texas Panhandle, with particularly impressive results in English and Science that put it near the top of the state. Amarillo is a no-nonsense West Texas city with wide-open skies, a tight-knit community feel, and a lower cost of living that attracts families who want a solid, grounded place to raise kids — and De Zavala fits that mold well. Families who prioritize rigorous academics without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a major metro will find a lot to like here.
