Summary

Hidden Hollow Elementary is a PK-5 school in Kingwood, TX, serving 433 students within the Humble Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a resilient, above-average school that has rebounded strongly from a recent performance dip to earn a 4-star rating and rank in the 77th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Hidden Hollow’s greatest strength is its reading instruction, with 5th graders consistently outperforming district and state averages—75.36% were proficient in Reading in the latest data, compared to 61.87% for the district. The school also shows remarkable progress with its most vulnerable students: English Language Learners jumped from the 10th percentile to the 76th percentile over three years, and low-income students improved by 46 percentile points to reach the 61st percentile. The Gifted and Talented program is a standout, now ranking in the 80th percentile after a major overhaul. However, the school faces challenges with inconsistent math and science scores, particularly in 5th grade, where only 37.8% were proficient in Math in 2024-2025, and performance for African American students has been volatile, dropping from the 93rd to the 42nd percentile recently.

Compared to nearby schools, Hidden Hollow is a strong option in a neighborhood of elite performers. It outperforms Greentree Elementary (68th percentile) despite serving a slightly more diverse student body, and it achieves better results with a lower student-to-teacher ratio of 13.3:1. While it is outshone by top-ranked neighbors like Willow Creek Elementary (98th percentile) and Bear Branch Elementary (91st percentile), Hidden Hollow’s ability to dramatically improve outcomes for its most disadvantaged students and its strong reading program make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is actively closing achievement gaps.

My daughter has attend hidden hollow for 3yrs now . We loved all of her teachers parent teachers communication is great . We never had a problem with anything while she was enrolled . Until our son started school mined you he is completely different from our daughter. He is failure to thrive ADHD with PTS with emotional disturbances and behavioral problems and food hoarding . We informed the school about all of these all his medical papers were faxed from his doctors. Well the school nurse disagreed with his diagnosis and called CPS on our family saying that our son wasn't being feed . And that it's not fair that there are restrictions for him and not our daughter. And that he's so small Well the case was closed . I am highly upset she knew about everything and still called she made it a personal problem . They have great teachers but the beware of the school nurse and the school registrar. Close Quote

My granddaughter has just completed fifth grade. She attended Hidden Hollow from kindergarten through fifth grade. I can't even begin to tell you how lucky I feel that she was able to attend such a WONDERFUL school. She loved it! The teachers as well as the principal have done a great job. These children are learning a lot, both emotionally and academically. Hats off to all of you!!! I only hope that her jr. high experience is just as wonderful. Close Quote

Poor communication! Teacher websites aren't current. I'm concerned about the number of half days that Humble ISD has for the school. Any information we have gotten has been from us being proactive and asking the school. The newsletter and website don't give information about student programs. In addition it seems that there are some teachers who are not truly passionate about their job. Students are permitted to bring electronics to some classes which is a distraction to learning. Overall, not impressed. Close Quote
