North Bend Elementary

North Bend Elementary sits in the fast-growing Humble area northeast of Houston, where new subdivisions and young families have been moving in at a steady clip. The school shows some real bright spots — math and science scores stand out relative to its overall profile, which could appeal to families with kids who lean toward those subjects. It's the kind of neighborhood school where there's room to grow, and with Humble ISD's continued investment in the area, families who get involved early often find a tight-knit community around them.
