Pewitt Junior High

Tucked away in the small town of Omaha in East Texas, Pewitt Junior High punches well above its size, landing in the top third of middle schools statewide with particularly strong math scores. Families in this tight-knit rural community tend to value the close relationships between students and teachers that a smaller school naturally fosters — this is a place where kids don't fall through the cracks. If you're drawn to the quieter pace of Morris County life and want your middle schooler in a school that genuinely knows them by name, Pewitt is worth a close look.
