Memorial Middle

Tucked into the Rio Grande Valley city of Harlingen, Memorial Middle sits right in the middle of the pack statewide but holds its own in a region where schools are working hard to close achievement gaps and build stronger academic foundations. Science is a relative strength here, which fits well in a community that's home to a growing healthcare sector and a practical, career-minded culture. Families looking for a solid neighborhood school in a warm, tight-knit South Texas city — where the cost of living is low and the community pride runs high — will find Memorial a dependable choice for the middle school years.
