Summary

Hidden Hollow Elementary is a public elementary school in Kingwood, Texas, serving 478 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Humble Independent School District. This school consistently ranks among the top 25% of Texas elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years and outperforming the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in reading.

Hidden Hollow stands out for its strong academic performance, with 69.51% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading in 2024-2025, compared to 56.92% for the district and 57.83% for the state. The school also has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, ranging from 28.16% to 37.03% in recent years, and a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, indicating smaller class sizes. Additionally, Hidden Hollow spends more per student than the surrounding schools, with spending ranging from $10,333 to $11,996 per student in recent years.

While Bear Branch Elementary and other nearby schools in the Humble ISD district are also generally high-performing, Hidden Hollow's consistently stronger academic results, lower percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients, and higher spending per student set it apart. However, the school may need to focus on improving outcomes for its English Language Learner and low-socioeconomic status students to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all.

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
