City - Baytown

Baytown sits on the northern edge of Galveston Bay where the Houston Ship Channel meets the San Jacinto River, giving this city of roughly 87,000 a working waterfront identity that few Texas communities can match. Its economic backbone runs deep through energy and petrochemical industries, anchored by one of ExxonMobil's largest refinery complexes in the world, a presence that has shaped the city since Humble Oil first arrived in 1919. Lee College adds an educational anchor to the mix, bringing a campus-adjacent energy to the Goose Creek corridor. Neighborhoods vary considerably across the city's 37 square miles, from the walkable blocks of the Texas Avenue and Downtown Arts District to the bayside calm of Lakewood and Wooster near the Baytown Nature Center, a 450-acre peninsula sanctuary where three bays converge.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
