Summary

David Elementary in The Woodlands, TX, is a consistently high-performing PK-4 school within the Conroe Independent School District (Isd), serving 585 students from a supportive community. This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for every year on record, never ranking below the 96th percentile in Texas, and it stands out for its exceptional efficiency, spending significantly less per student than many nearby peers while achieving superior academic results.

David Elementary’s most remarkable strength is its outstanding mathematics program, with 86% of 4th graders proficient in math—a full 24 points above the district average. The school also excels in supporting its Hispanic student population, ranking 19th out of over 3,600 schools statewide for this subgroup, a feat unmatched by any nearby school. While it is a leader within Conroe ISD, outperforming peers like Buckalew Elementary and Bush Elementary, it is not the absolute highest-ranked in the region. The nearby Creekside Forest Elementary in Tomball Independent School District (Isd) ranks 12th in Texas, showing a tier of even higher performance available in a different district.

Families should note that school performance in this area varies significantly within a small geographic radius, with David Elementary’s results far exceeding those of Glen Loch Elementary and Lamar Elementary. While David Elementary delivers elite results for Hispanic students and in math, its performance for White and Asian students has seen a slight relative dip in recent years, which may be due to small class sizes. Overall, this school offers a proven, consistent track record of excellence, making it a standout choice for families seeking a top-tier elementary education in The Woodlands.
