2019 Best Middle Schools in the San Antonio AreaAbout this List

Keystone School

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 51

Junior: I am entering my senior year and there is no other high school I would rather be than Keystone. The motto of "academic excellence" is embodied by every aspect of Keystone, with dedicated students and useful teachers determined to learn in the best way possible. More than anything else, my Keystone education has taught me to be a free thinker while still respecting others, allowing me to form my own opinions and look at situations objectively. While the school is inherently challenging, the overall experience is definitely worth it, preparing young adults not only for college but also giving them the tools to be successful and caring members of society.

Saint Mary's Hall

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 48

Parent: My experience with Saint Mary’s Hall has been nothing but exemplary. We started in Montessori. My children are now in 4th and 7th grades. Academics are rigorous and challenging as I feel they should be. The students are given opportunities to choose from either fine arts and sports for their extra curricular activities. My children have participated and enjoyed being part both. Smaller class sizes, ample opportunities to excel, attention they get from faculty and staff are just few of the reasons why we love Saint Mary’s Hall. If you are looking at private schools for your children and you want one that is well rounded and challenging, then Saint Mary’s Hall will be an excellent choice!

Eleanor Kolitz Hebrew Language Academy

• Public School
• San Antonio, TX
• K-8
• 5

Parent: We have three children at EKHLA and feel very strongly that they are getting a stellar education. Over the last five years we have had wonderful teachers and only one (who no longer works there) that was not up to par. The students are nurtured, supported and respected and they are held to high standards both in their behavior and in their academics. The coursework is rigorous as is the homework, but their teachers are always ready and willing to spend extra time outside of school to tutor their students. The Principal is honest and doesn't mince words, yet the students love her warmth and personal attention. To top it all off, they are learning Hebrew daily, which is just the cherry on top. We are very happy at EKHLA.

Jose M. Lopez Middle School

• North East Independent School District, TX
• 6-8
• 8

Alum: Lopez Middle School granted many students many different opportunities. Being an alum from this middle school, I would like to state that what I loved so much about this school was that I was able to be involved in fine arts just as much as I was able to be in athletics. No one extra curricular activity dominated another which allowed for equal opportunities. The staff when I attended were not the best but the principal and vice principal have been replaced and they were the ones who seemed to be at the center of conflict. The campus overall is safe but it is extremely easy for children to leave campus as what happened in the spring of 2016. Since this incident, the safety has increased. The teachers, directors, and coaches are outstanding and extremely encouraging in every aspect of their student's academic career.

Alum: What I loved about Tejeda middle school was the opportunity for kids at all learning levels. The kids who excelled were able to challenged and really improve, and the kids who had trouble were able to receive just as much of an education.

Folks Middle School

Freshman: I believe John Folks Middle School is a great place to prepare yourself for high school later on. There are so many amazing teachers who are happy to see you, any time of day whether you be an 8th grader from two years ago or present student. Which makes it very warming and welcoming to others, just to know they care about you. But also their head of coaches department is quite amazing, they push your limits to do better than the last rep before.

Briscoe Middle School

Alum: Briscoe has a lively atmosphere with very kind, helpful and supportive teachers and staff. Majority of the students are very friendly and active within their academics as well as extracurricular activities. I am a part of the athletics department, and I love the coaches as well as my teammates. The occasional fight does occur, but usually settles down very quickly so we can go amongst our regularly scheduled program.

The Atonement Academy

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 58

Parent: What I like most about the Atonement Academy is that it’s the only Catholic School in San Antonio that has daily Mass for the students. As a Catholic parent, I want my daughter to grow up experiencing God in her life and there is nothing more beautiful than to be given a chance to attend Mass everyday
while in school and to be free to
practice her Catholic faith.
If my goal for my daughter is purely academics and sports, I will probably put her in another school. However, what good is it if she “ gains the whole world and loses her soul”.
I hope and pray that the Atonement Academy continues to be what God intended it to be,
a truly Catholic School.

Boerne Middle School North

• Boerne Independent School District, TX
• 6-8
• 2

Freshman: Boerne Middle School North was a great expirence with a fun filled environment. However, that being said, the school did have its "not so good" days. One thing I would like to see a change in is how much concern for the band the school has over the orchestra and choir. The difference in how these three extra cirricular activities are put into action is absolutely terrible! That being said, orchestra and choir have more potentional than the opportunitys handed to them. Another thing that I would like to see a change in is the excessive abrupt favoritism in a lot of students. From the determining of sports teams to the excessive improper dress coding, it goes a long way to show who's favorited and who isn't as much. Overall, it's a wonderful school with a great staff of encouraging teachers. Academically, it can't get any better!

Parent: I never saw bullying. I never saw violence. The teachers really cared! They even call you personally to talk about your child! Even on the weekends!!! They really love their students. The pick up however, is a mess. We share the same entrance as the middle school next door! Something needs to change. Other than that, the school is amazing!

First Baptist Academy of Universal City

• Private School
• Universal City, TX
• PK, K-12
• 8

Alum: First Baptist Academy is a great school that I really didn't appreciate until my senior year. Coming from a public school background, I was used to seeing new faces with each class period, but at FBA you travel with the same people from class-to-class (except for electives). Academically, First Baptist Academy is wonderful. The teachers were genuine, and they encouraged you to not be lazy, but prepared you to face the realities of education at a University. There is very, very little diversity as far as high school goes. There's diversity in elementary and middle school, though. The fine arts at the school is superb! What really got me to enjoy the school my senior year was how the staff genuinely encouraged students to seek God and to put Him first. All in all, this school truly was a blessing and a great way to finish out my secondary education.

The Christian School at Castle Hills

• Private School
• San Antonio, TX
• PK, K-12
• 89

Senior: The education was worth every penny. The material we covered prepares me for not only college, but also understanding and making decisions in our overly complicated times.

The sports have led to my personal growth and reaching dreams. My athletic director has been behind me and always believed in me.

The coaches, teachers , leaders and administration are great, and our small classes really allows for individual attention when needed.

We have small but close classes. The camps, mission trips, sports, spirit days, and so many weekends with my friends are some of the things I will forever miss.


Although no place is perfect, I can’t imagine attending school anywhere else but here. Just come shadow for a day and see if you
