Very disappointed by my experience at this school. I do not even know where to begin. This school puts Katy ISD to shame. Teachers play favorites and are not discreet about it. They do not address the bullying that occurs right in front of their eyes. There have been multiple occurrences where students were rewarded more for the non-academic achievements rather than the students who actually did well in their academics. Please DO NOT send your child here if you want them to prosper in school. To add on, the discreet racism is absolutely disgusting.

The teachers clearly are not trained to determine if the children may have deficit areas that may require further investigation. For instance, a school psychologist may be referred if a child is underachieving in relation to his/her peers. The teachers do not appear to have education in making accommodations/modifications for children who are not performing as well as their peers or reference groups. I am also unsure why the curriculum consists of materials that I did when I was in 6th grade. With an IQ of over 136, I have found that most of the concepts learned are not required. Kids are overloaded with information and don't have the cognitive endurance to endure the academic rigor that is expected in the 1st grade educational level. It is almost disturbing that a Dr student can go to school with a few pens, a notebook, course book and ambition, meanwhile, these students in the 1st grade have a mile long list to bring to school. The materials certainly are not making them any smarter!!!

I have never been more disappointed in a staff of teachers and administrators since we started in KISD in kindergarten. No one responds to questions, my concerns are brushed aside, and getting updates on my child's progress has been like pulling teeth. We can't sell our home fast enough and move into a different area of Katy so my property taxes are actually paying for an education instead of babysitting services. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a home in the area.

My kids went to this school for 2 years. It was an excellent school. Not sure why great school rating is low. But i moved my kids from a katy isd 10 rating school to this school. It has great diverse environment. My kids loved it. I had to move due to my job. My kids went for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades. If you are looking for a very reasonable living and good school. This is a great option. You can easily find a house in 1100 to 1500 range that is much better than finding a 10 rating school and pay close to 2000 or more in living. Yes my kids passed all star tests and were always above 80% in grades.
