Summary:
Zip code 77336, serving the Huffman area, is home to a single high school, Hargrave High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 and is part of the Huffman Independent School District (Isd).
Hargrave High School presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, the school boasts a strong graduation rate of 96% and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1. However, academic performance on state assessments is a significant concern. The most critical weakness is in Algebra I, where only 23.72% of students are proficient—a staggering 30 percentage points below the state average. The school also consistently underperforms in Biology, English I, and English II by 6 to 11 percentage points. A notable exception is U.S. History, where students outperform the state average. This disparity suggests that while the school excels at keeping students on track to graduate, many are not achieving grade-level proficiency in core subjects. This academic struggle is reflected in a concerning downward trend in the school's state ranking, which has dropped from the 53rd percentile to the 38th percentile over the last three years.
Because Hargrave High School is the only high school in the district, its performance directly defines the Huffman Independent School District (Isd)'s high school metrics. For parents, this means any improvement or decline at the school has an immediate and total impact on the district's standing. The school's high graduation rate is a clear strength, but the low test scores, particularly in math, indicate a need for targeted academic support to ensure students are truly prepared for college and careers.
