Summary

Hurst Hills Elementary in Hurst, TX, is a PK-6 school serving 480 students as part of the highly-regarded Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating for the past decade.

This school truly shines in its upper elementary grades, especially 6th grade, where an impressive 85.48% of students were proficient in both Reading and Math in 2024-2025—nearly double the state average. This "6th Grade Effect" is a major strength, with scores far outpacing nearby schools like Harrison Lane Elementary (49.3% reading proficiency) and River Trails Elementary (47.42% math proficiency). Hurst Hills also excels at supporting all students, ranking in the 89th percentile for African American students and the 85th percentile for Special Education students—a sign of strong equity. However, the school ranks in the 17th percentile for Gifted and Talented students, suggesting that while it effectively brings many students to proficiency, it may not offer enough challenge for its highest achievers. Compared to nearby Donna Park, Hurst Hills dramatically outperforms in every subject and grade level, and it holds a clear advantage over Birdville Independent School District (Isd) schools like Jack C Binion Elementary, which have lower ratings.

With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 and efficient use of resources (spending $10,235 per student), Hurst Hills is a top-tier choice within an already strong district. Its ability to build academic momentum from 3rd to 6th grade makes it a standout, especially for families seeking a school that helps students thrive as they prepare for middle school.
