Summary:
Zip code 77336 in Huffman, TX, is home to two elementary schools—Huffman Elementary and Falcon Ridge Elementary—both serving grades PK-5 within the Huffman Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the 17th percentile statewide.
Falcon Ridge Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school overall, consistently outpacing Huffman Elementary in most academic measures. For the 2025-2026 school year, Falcon Ridge ranked in the 24th percentile (3,523rd out of 4,627 schools) compared to Huffman’s 15th percentile (3,948th). Falcon Ridge also achieved a 2-star rating in 2023-2024, a distinction Huffman has not earned. Academically, Falcon Ridge led in 4th-grade Reading (42.65% vs. 31.47%) and 5th-grade Math (40.56% vs. 35.76%), though Huffman posted a surprising win in 5th-grade Science (23.45% vs. 17.36%). Falcon Ridge benefits from a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (13.5:1 vs. 14.3:1) and higher per-student spending ($10,253 vs. $9,457), though both schools serve similar levels of economic disadvantage (around 45% free/reduced lunch).
Despite these differences, both schools face significant challenges. Their state rankings have declined steadily over three years, and they consistently underperform state averages—for example, 4th-grade Reading proficiency was 42.65% at Falcon Ridge and 31.47% at Huffman, versus the state average of 53.04%. This pattern suggests systemic issues within the district affecting all students. For parents, Falcon Ridge Elementary offers stronger overall academics and resources, while Huffman Elementary shows a unique strength in science instruction.
