I have lived in Kingwood for 15 years and all three of my kids have gone through the public schools. They are highly rated ( some more highly rated than others) I believe you would be very happy with the school system. I have a senior and a sophomore in high school and one in middle school now. I am sure you could look up the report from the state on the latest ratings for them all.

Elementary: probably 8-10 schools. Willow creek is probably the highest rated. Mine went to Deerwood, Bear branch, shadow forest, green tree, hidden hollow are all similar and know kids that have gone there. I don’t know much about Foster, Woodland Hills or elm grove

Middle school- three schools- Riverwood is probably the highest rated, but creekwood is considered to be very good as well. Kingwood middle is the other and is also considered to be a good school.

High school, two high schools Kingwood and Kingwood Park. Both highly rated. Kingwood is 6a and k park 5a. Mine go to Kingwood

Kingwood did flood during Harvey fairly significantly. However a majority of homes did not . Kingwood high school was out of operation for 9 months

Thanks for the information. Do you feel like the Catholic school and public schools(Willow Creek, Shadow forest, Bear Branch) are academically equal in Kingwood? Do you find any schools more welcoming than other schools.

We have been in Kingwood since 1995. Wife taught for Humble ISD here in Kingwood for probably 15 years but now teaches in New Caney ISD. My son also graduated from Kingwood HS. My daughter is in 5th grade at Deerwood. She will be at Riverwood next year. Schools are great. Probably some of the best around H-town. My son played football and wrestled. It kinda sucked on that part because back in Monroe, high school football is like a religion. In Kingwood, it is an afterthought. Most of the parents leave the stadium (which is Humble HS's anyway) after the drill team and the band are done at halftime. That shite used to pizz me off so bad but hey, the golf and baseball teams are legit.

We flooded in Fosters Mill in Harvey. We went through all the other flood events without so much as a drop of water on our street. We ended up renovating and selling that house. We now live right off Mills Branch in the back in Greentree. I highly doubt that part of Kingwood will ever flood that bad again but the other area that floods in Kingwood now is the area near where Perry Homes built out and mis-handled the drainage. I would not move over there.

Kingwood is a great location to get to Beaumont. Way better than the Woodlands. Just run the backway out and come out by the FM 1960 bridge and go hit 90 in Dayton. Pretty much a breeze and can be done in about 1 hour with zero traffic.
