Summary

Deerwood Elementary in Kingwood, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 641 students in grades PK-5 within the Humble Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently surged to the 89th percentile statewide, placing it among the top-performing schools in the area.

Deerwood stands out for its remarkable recent improvements, especially in supporting students who often face challenges. Over the past two years, the school has seen dramatic gains for English Language Learners (jumping from the 55th to the 92nd percentile) and for students from low-income backgrounds (rising from the 49th to the 90th percentile). This success is a notable exception in Kingwood, where a clear performance divide exists between higher-performing schools like Bear Branch Elementary, Shadow Forest Elementary, and Willow Creek Elementary, and lower-performing ones like Oaks Elementary and Foster Elementary. Deerwood’s ability to help all its students thrive, regardless of background, is a key strength.

Academically, Deerwood excels in math, with 4th and 5th graders scoring about 25 percentage points higher than the district average. However, 5th-grade science remains a relative weakness, with only 29% of students proficient—a common trend across the district. Additionally, while the school performs well overall, its Asian student population has consistently ranked in the 20th-26th percentile for three years, suggesting a need for more tailored support. Despite these areas for growth, Deerwood’s strong trajectory and focus on closing achievement gaps make it a compelling choice for families in Kingwood.
