Summary

Elm Grove Elementary in Kingwood, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 608 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Humble Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently made a dramatic leap in performance, jumping from the 42nd percentile to the 70th percentile and earning a 4-star rating—its highest in nearly a decade.

This school has a clear academic strength in Reading, consistently outperforming both the district and state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, with 5th-grade Reading proficiency reaching 67.37% in the latest data. However, Mathematics remains a persistent challenge, particularly in 4th grade where proficiency rates have fallen below state averages. What sets Elm Grove apart is its exceptional performance with specific student groups: it excels with Female Students (74th percentile), Special Education Students (67th percentile), and Low Socio-Economic Status Students (65th percentile). This is a significant differentiator, as many schools struggle to serve these populations as effectively. The turnaround for Special Education students is especially notable, rising from the 27th percentile just two years prior.

When compared to nearby schools, Elm Grove tells a compelling story. It significantly outperforms cross-district neighbors like Porter Elementary in the New Caney Independent School District (Isd), which ranks at the 43rd percentile. Yet, it also highlights a stark contrast within its own district: just 3.13 miles away, Willow Creek Elementary is a 5-star, 98th-percentile school with a 9.12% free/reduced lunch rate, compared to Elm Grove's 57.4%. This gap underscores the powerful correlation between socio-economic status and academic performance. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1 and competitive spending per student, Elm Grove has demonstrated the ability to improve rapidly. The challenge ahead is to sustain this momentum by addressing its Math weakness to match its Reading strength, potentially closing the gap with top-tier district schools.

Could not ask for a better school! I have had kids here since 2010 and loved every second of it. Had an issue with one teacher but it was resolved quickly. Principal always very kind to everyone and involved in the day to day happenings at the school! Close Quote

The Principal is the main problem. The word Micro Manager is often used to describe her. She is known around the district for being hard to get along with and is down right mean to students and staff. She will smile at you the first time she meets you and can be presentable when she chooses. She can also be your worst enemy that will go out of her way to make your life miserable.

The school is completely inefficient due to poor management and planning is filled with theory and very little in the way of real solutions. Every single one of the staff is miserable due to mistreatment and mismanagement. The Principal thinks she is smarter than everyone, including you, if you're reading this. As a result she is incapable of making sound decisions.

The day the principal retires or is forced out, will be a day to be celebrated by all.

You have been warned. Close Quote

many things are wrong with this school currently speaking of course, many teachers have been bullied by the principal, yes bullied ! this school has been known to have many children hurt on the playground equipment, nothing was done about it for years. the bullying at this school, the principal is supposed to turn in a report to the HISD school board, and unless you force her to do it and see it with your own eyes, and make sure its been done, she will hide it. The school gets priveledges and bonuses for having no bullying in the school, of course there is incentive to have the principal NOT report these issues.
last year we had a parent helping out on field day/aka super fun day, had been hit with fists by a 4th grade boy, whom also beat the heck out of the p.e teacher.
nothing was done about this either.
take your child else where!!! RUN Close Quote
