Vale Middle

Vale Middle sits in the fast-growing far west side of San Antonio, where newer subdivisions and a strong military-connected community make up much of the neighborhood. The school's science scores stand out compared to its other subjects, which could make it a decent fit for families with kids who lean toward hands-on STEM learning. Families here are generally looking for a community-oriented environment, and being part of Northside ISD — one of the largest districts in Texas — means access to a broad range of extracurriculars and district resources even as the school continues to build academically.
