Summary

Diane Winborn Elementary is a public elementary school in Katy, Texas, serving 734 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Katy Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 172 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Diane Winborn Elementary has some areas of strength, it also faces several challenges. The school's STAAR test scores are generally lower than the Katy ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in 5th grade science. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. For example, in 3rd grade reading, the proficiency rate was 55% for female students but only 39% for male students. Compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Leonard Elementary and Morton Ranch Elementary, Diane Winborn Elementary generally underperforms.

Another area of concern is the school's declining performance over time. Diane Winborn Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 1,107 out of 4,320 Texas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 2,256 out of 4,651 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.76% to 65.4% over the past few years, may also be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

I have had many opportunities to move to another school--both in and out of district. However, I wouldn't think of doing such a thing. DWE is an amazing place to work. The administration and staff are wonderful to work with, and the learning environment is pleasant and condusive to learning at all times. Close Quote
