Schultz Junior High

Schultz Junior High sits in Waller, a small town on the northwestern edge of Harris County where the suburbs give way to open land and a tight-knit community feel — a world away from the hustle of central Houston just 40 miles down the road. The school's science scores are a real bright spot, landing in the 78th percentile statewide, which is worth noting for families with kids who gravitate toward hands-on or STEM-oriented learning. Families drawn to a smaller-town atmosphere with room to grow, where kids tend to know their teachers and neighbors, will find Waller ISD a comfortable fit.
