Best Public Schools in Kingwood, TX

Summary:

The city of Kingwood, Texas is home to 15 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Humble Independent School District. While the district is ranked 476 out of 968 in Texas, several standout schools in Kingwood are performing exceptionally well, with Riverwood Middle and Willow Creek Elementary earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming state and district averages on STAAR tests.

The two high schools in Kingwood, Kingwood High School and Kingwood Park High School, both have impressive 4-year graduation rates above 94%, well above the state average. However, Kingwood High School stands out with stronger STAAR EOC performance, particularly in biology, English, and U.S. History. The middle school landscape is more varied, with Riverwood Middle excelling and Kingwood Middle lagging behind district and state averages.

Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role, as schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Elm Grove Elementary and Woodland Hills Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. This highlights the need for equitable resource allocation and targeted support to ensure all students in the Humble Independent School District have access to a high-quality education.
