Katy Independent School District Reviews
Rating 4.18 out of 5 665 reviews
Rating 3 out of 5
While Katy ISD is a well equipped school district with amazing school buildings and a multitude of clubs and resources to excel (especially in college), I am slightly disappointed. I admit, as someone who used to attend international private schools until the 11th grade, I have high expectations, however there are enough people who care about this school district so it is definitely capable. The students at this school are solely motivated by extrinsic goals such as grades, resumes, and college. Some are dedicated and push themselves to burnout as they commit hours afterschool and pull all nighters! Some really could not care less. I've never seen a school where this disparity is so wide. I believe what would significantly improve this school is if there was a sense of unity and community restored. The kids needs something to care about past superficial things. If teachers cared more about the world and social causes and united the kids, I think we could have global citizens.

Genuinely the worst school culture/administration here. The administration genuinely does not care about your kids, and nor will provide the necessary resources. In addition, I won’t lie when I say that majority of the administrators I’ve met are genuinely rude. Now, I haven’t experienced bullying, but I’ve seen it and it’s neither prevented and actually highly encouraged. I’m a classic over-achieving Asian kids like the many of the students here, and it’s a highly competitive environment that I’ve seen kids lead highly miserable and tired lives that the administrators don’t provide any support.
The good side is that the teachers for some of the schools are good and genuinely passionate and invested in their students.

Best: MCTC programs including, law, emt, vet med, coding, cosmetology and many more. I was a part of the legal studies program for two years and enjoyed every minute of it! However, the worst part of KISD as a whole is their absence policies. They are absurd and unreasonable.
