Summary:
Zip code 77336 in Huffman, TX, is served by four public schools within the Huffman Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 17th percentile of Texas districts and includes Hargrave High School (grades 9-12), Huffman Middle (grades 6-8), Huffman Elementary (PK-5), and Falcon Ridge Elementary (K-5).
Hargrave High School stands out as the district's top performer, boasting a strong 96% graduation rate and being the only school to exceed state averages in any subject, specifically U.S. History (72.52% proficient vs. 70.17% statewide). In contrast, Huffman Middle presents a striking paradox: while its standard math proficiency is very low (e.g., only 13.91% in 7th grade), it achieves a perfect 100% proficiency rate for 8th graders taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, indicating a highly effective advanced math track. Among the elementary schools, Falcon Ridge Elementary outperforms Huffman Elementary in 4th and 5th-grade reading and math, despite having a slightly higher rate of economic disadvantage (45.79% free/reduced lunch).
Overall, the district faces significant academic challenges, with average proficiency rates roughly 15-20 percentage points below state averages in reading, math, and science. A critical weakness is the "science gap," where 5th-grade science proficiency at both elementary schools (23.45% and 17.36%) and 8th-grade science at Huffman Middle (31.21%) lag far behind state averages. Additionally, every school has seen a decline in its state percentile ranking over the past three years, suggesting systemic issues that need addressing. Per-student spending ranges from $9,321 to $11,324, and student-teacher ratios are favorable at 13.5:1 to 16.5:1.
