Nederland is suburban community about halfway between Beaumont and Port Arthur along Highway 96. The iconic windmill museum at Tex Ritter Park serves as the city’s most recognizable landmark, honoring Nederland’s Dutch founders. Like many communities in the region, the local culture reflects a strong Cajun influence as much as Texan. Serving largely as a residential community for folks who work around the neighboring cities, the majority of the city is filled with low-key neighborhoods of charming houses and manicured lawns.

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.
