Summary

Joe Hubenak Elementary in Richmond, TX, is a large, high-performing school serving 1,179 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, a district ranked in the top 21% of Texas. What truly sets this school apart is its remarkable ability to achieve top-tier academic results—ranking in the 98th percentile for performance with economically disadvantaged students—while serving a student body where about one-third qualify for free or reduced lunch. This is a standout achievement when compared to nearby high-performing schools in Katy Independent School District (Isd), such as Stanley C Stanley Elementary or Griffin Elementary, which serve much more affluent populations with free/reduced lunch rates as low as 8-12%. Joe Hubenak proves that excellent education is possible for all students, regardless of background, and it consistently ranks in the top 6-9% of all Texas elementary schools.

The school also excels in serving specific student groups, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide for African American students, a clear sign of its effective and inclusive teaching practices. Across all grades (3rd through 5th), proficiency rates in Reading and Math are consistently high, ranging from about 70% to 76%, showing no significant weak spots. This consistency is impressive given that Joe Hubenak is the largest school in its area and has a higher student-teacher ratio (18.9:1) than its Katy ISD neighbors (which average around 13-14:1), pointing to strong school-wide systems and leadership that can scale successfully.

While the school is a powerhouse, there are a few areas to watch. The most recent data shows a slight dip in performance for male students and special education students, which may be a one-year anomaly but is worth monitoring. Additionally, science scores for 5th graders, while above district and state averages, dropped to 50% proficiency in 2024-2025, presenting an opportunity for focused improvement. Overall, Joe Hubenak is a top-tier choice in a region filled with excellent schools, and its ability to deliver outstanding results with a diverse student body makes it a particularly compelling option for families.

I'd rate at 0 if possible.

My kids have been here since it opened in 09-10. I have plenty of experience with this school.

The principal runs it like a military. IE: Students must walk down halls with arms crossed over their chest. If caught uncrossed teachers give color changes, take away husky bucks and/or recess, etc.

Teacher turnaround is alarming. I've witnessed racial profiling against students and male teachers. Maybe 5-7 phenomenal teachers. The rest have no business teaching. Each time I've visit the school I've witnessed an authority figure yell at a student. I've got personal video to prove it.

The front desk clerk (1 of 2) is mean. Today was the last straw when she yelled at my kinder in front of me & other moms/students for getting a name sticker from the desk ledge, which she has done since she could reach it at 2 yrs of age. When this happened the room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My daughter was shocked & embarrassed & this woman should be ashamed of herself for speaking to a child this way. Especially over something as trivial as a sticker. You'll know what I'm referring to if you ever visit the school. Close Quote
