Rayburn Middle

Rayburn Middle sits on the west side of San Antonio in a working-class neighborhood where families tend to put down roots and stay. The school's science scores stand out notably above its other subjects, which could be a real draw for kids with a curiosity for hands-on learning in that area. Families looking for a close-knit campus in a tight community — rather than a high-pressure academic environment — may find Rayburn fits the rhythm of everyday life on this side of the city.
