Palo Alto Middle

Killeen is a military town through and through, sitting just outside Fort Cavazos, and Palo Alto Middle reflects that community — families here tend to be resilient, mobile, and no-nonsense about getting a solid education wherever the Army sends them next. The school's strongest showings come in English and Science, which can offer a helpful foundation for students who may be jumping between school systems. For families stationed in the area looking for a school that serves a diverse, tight-knit military community, Palo Alto is a reasonable home base while you're in central Texas.
