Mendez Middle

Mendez Middle sits in the 78744 zip code on Austin's southeast side, a neighborhood that's seen real investment and growth as the city has expanded outward. The school serves a predominantly Hispanic community with deep roots in the area, and families here tend to be tightly connected to the surrounding neighborhoods of Dove Springs and Montopolis. While academic proficiency scores are below the state middle, math is a relative strength, and families who are engaged and looking for opportunities to be involved in their child's school community may find a close-knit environment worth considering.
