Wylie East Junior High

Wylie East Junior High sits in the growing eastern edge of Abilene, where newer subdivisions and a strong sense of community make it a popular landing spot for families putting down roots in Taylor County. The school holds its own academically across the board, with particularly solid science scores that reflect a staff invested in hands-on learning at the middle school level. Families drawn to a suburban feel with easy access to Abilene's amenities — without the bustle of the city center — tend to thrive here, and the school's consistent performance makes it a reassuring choice for the junior high years.
