Luling High School

Luling is a small South Texas town best known for its watermelons and its annual Watermelon Thump festival, and the tight-knit community that rallies around that kind of tradition also shapes life at Luling High School. Academics here are a work in progress, with scores sitting in the lower range statewide, so families who prioritize rigorous coursework may want to weigh their options carefully — but for those already rooted in Luling, the school reflects the close community bonds that define the town. Families drawn to small-town life, Friday night football, and a place where everyone knows your name will feel right at home here.
