Humble ISD is celebrating a breakthrough year of academic progress demonstrated by school improvement gains across the district. More than 70 percent of the district’s schools scored higher in the state’s 2026 accountability system than they did in 2025.

The relentless hard work of our teachers, principals, instructional staff, and students is evident. Elevating our grade is an important milestone, but it is only the beginning. We will continue to build on these accomplishments and strengthen our instructional practices to ensure sustained growth and achievement for every student, across all our schools.“

In addition to improved scores, Humble ISD schools earned a total of 75 distinction designations - more than doubling the 32 distinction designations earned in 2025. For distinction designations, each Texas public school is placed in a comparison group of 40 schools from across the state. Distinction designations are awarded to schools performing in the top quartile of their comparison group on performance indicators.
Thirty-one Humble ISD schools earned at least one distinction designation. Willow Creek Elementary School earned six distinctions -- the highest number possible for an elementary school. Willow Creek’s distinctions were for Academic Achievement in English Language Arts/Reading; Academic Achievement in Mathematics; Academic Achievement in Science; Academic Achievement in Social Studies; Top 25 Percent: Comparative Academic Growth; and Top 25 Percent: Comparative Closing the Gaps.
Other Humble ISD elementary schools earning three or more distinction designations were: Deerwood Elementary, 4; Elm Grove Elementary, 3; Fall Creek Elementary, 5; Groves Elementary, 5; Humble Elementary, 5; and Woodland Hills Elementary, 4;
Humble ISD secondary schools earning three or more distinctions were Atascocita Middle, 3; Kingwood Middle, 4; Woodcreek Middle, 3; Kingwood High, 3; and Sconzo Early College High, 3.
The Texas Education Agency assigns each public school and district an accountability score from 0 to 100 and a corresponding letter rating: A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69) or F (59 and below).
The overall score is based on three areas:
Student Achievement measures what students know and can do. Depending on the grades served, it includes STAAR performance, graduation rates, and college, career and military readiness.
School Progress evaluates students’ academic growth from year to year and the school’s performance compared with schools serving similar percentages of economically disadvantaged students. TEA uses whichever calculation produces the higher score as the School Progress rating.
Closing the Gaps measures whether all students—and individual student groups—are meeting state and federal performance targets.
