That has changed a lot and is continuing to change as more kids go to the school." In 2013 Houstonia stated that "Parents, in particular, praise the area’s schools" including Twain and Pershing.

Students at Twain were put in temporary buildings while a new school building, financed by the 2002 Rebuild Houston school bond program, was under construction. Its cost was $14 million and it was scheduled to open in 2005.

St. Mark's Episcopal School in the city of West University Place is also nearby. Public libraries The McGovern-Stella Link Branch of the Houston Public Library is located at 7405 Stella Link Road.
