Plains Middle

Plains Middle sits in the small, tight-knit community of Plains, out in the wide-open cotton country of West Texas near the New Mexico border — the kind of town where everyone knows your kid's name and school events are a genuine community gathering. The school shows some strength in math relative to its other subjects, which may appeal to families hoping to build a foundation in technical or agricultural fields that matter so much to the local economy. For families rooted in the Yoakum County area, this is a school embedded in the rhythms of a rural community where the social fabric of small-town life is very much part of the education.
