Creekside Forest Elementary is Tomball ISD’s first school to be built in The Woodlands. Located at Creekside Green Drive and Creekside Forest Drive, this 112,170 square foot school opened its doors to students in August 2009. The school will serve approximately 730 students in grades kindergarten through six. The preliminary schematic design includes classroom wings that are arranged as “super-pods.” This configuration allows for flexibility, collaboration and the ability to expand grade levels within the same area of the building. In addition, the building will allow for the separation of the grade levels. The administrative offices are located near the entrance. The design also features a cafeteria, a centrally located library, art rooms, a science lab, a computer lab, choir, band and music rooms, a teacher workroom, a gymnasium, and a drop-off/pick-up loop.
