Summary

B H Hamblen Elementary is a public elementary school in Channelview, Texas, serving 901 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Channelview Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 687 out of 961 districts in the state.

B H Hamblen Elementary consistently outperforms the Channelview ISD and the state of Texas in STAAR test scores across various grade levels and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade students excelled in reading (70.39% proficient), math (55.26%), and science (20.39%), surpassing the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in STAAR Spanish assessments, ranking among the top schools in Texas for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students. Despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (84.46%), the school spends more per student ($10,041 in 2020-2021) and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools in the Channelview ISD, such as Harvey S. Brown Elementary, Crenshaw Elementary, and McGhee Elementary, B H Hamblen Elementary outperforms them in both academic achievement and student demographics. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Galena Park ISD, such as North Shore Elementary and James B. Havard Elementary, the school's performance is more mixed, with some areas where it excels and others where it lags behind.
