Woden Junior High

Tucked into the piney woods of East Texas, Woden Junior High punches well above its weight for a small-town school, with particularly strong science scores that put it in the top tier statewide. Families in and around the Woden area get a tight-knit campus where kids aren't just a number, and the rural Nacogdoches County setting means a slower pace of life with a real sense of community pride. If you're raising kids who thrive with personal attention and a strong academic foundation outside of a big-city environment, Woden is worth a serious look.
