Riverwood Middle

Riverwood Middle sits in Kingwood, the tree-lined master-planned community on Houston's northeast edge that's long had a reputation for taking its schools seriously — and Riverwood lives up to that reputation with some of the strongest middle school numbers in the entire state. Families who prioritize rigorous academics across English, math, and science will find a lot to like here, and the surrounding neighborhood offers that rare suburban sweet spot of quiet streets, trail systems, and easy access to the city. It's the kind of place where parents are engaged, expectations are high, and kids tend to arrive at high school genuinely prepared.
