School Overview

The Cobb 6th Grade Campus, located at 6722 Uvalde in Houston, Texas, serves as a specialized transitional school within the Galena Park Independent School District. Designed specifically for students entering their first year of middle school, the campus focuses on providing a supportive environment that bridges the gap between elementary and secondary education.

The school environment is geared toward fostering both academic growth and character development during a pivotal year of maturation. Families can access resources, district news, and campus-specific information through the Galena Park ISD website, which serves as the primary hub for administrative updates and educational support for the community.
