Magnolia Junior High

Magnolia Junior High sits in one of the faster-growing corridors northwest of Houston, where families are trading suburban sprawl for a bit more elbow room without giving up good schools. The campus performs solidly across the board, with particular strength in math and science — a good fit for families who want their middle schoolers challenged in the STEM subjects as they head toward high school. Magnolia itself has that small-town-meets-new-development feel, with a tight-knit community that still shows up for Friday night games and local events, making the transition through junior high feel a little less daunting than it might in a bigger district.
