R C Barton Middle

R.C. Barton Middle sits in Buda, one of the fastest-growing towns along the I-35 corridor south of Austin, drawing families who want that small-town feel without straying too far from the city. As part of Hays CISD, Barton consistently performs well across English, math, and science, landing in the top 15% of middle schools statewide — a strong signal that the district is keeping pace with the community's rapid growth. It's a good fit for families putting down roots in one of Central Texas's most in-demand suburbs and looking for a school that takes academics seriously.
