Spearman Junior High

Tucked into the Texas Panhandle, Spearman Junior High punches well above its weight for a small-town school, with especially strong showings in science and math that put it ahead of most schools in the state. Families in the Spearman community tend to value the tight-knit feel that comes with a smaller district — where kids aren't just a number and teachers genuinely know their students. If you're drawn to wide-open skies, a close community, and a school that delivers solid academics without the noise of a big city, Spearman is worth a serious look.
