River Valley Middle

River Valley Middle is one of those smaller-town schools that quietly punches well above its weight, sitting in the top 7% of middle schools statewide with consistently strong scores across English, math, and science. McGregor is a tight-knit Central Texas community just a short drive west of Waco, where families get the feel of small-town life without being too far from city amenities — and that close community connection shows up in how well this school performs. Families who want rigorous academics in a setting where kids aren't just a number will find a lot to like here.
