J K Hileman Elementary is a public elementary school in Queen City, Texas, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 369 students. The school is part of the Queen City Independent School District, which is ranked 376 out of 961 districts in the state.

J K Hileman Elementary has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 794 to 4,000 out of over 4,500 Texas elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school performed better than the state average in 3rd grade reading and math, but lower in 4th grade reading and math.

The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 72.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has seen an increase in per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, its inconsistent academic performance and struggles to support its African American and Hispanic students suggest a need for more targeted and effective strategies to improve student learning outcomes.
