Summary

Diane Winborn Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Katy Independent School District (Isd), serving 728 students in Katy, TX, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has experienced a sharp recent decline in overall performance, dropping from the 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 33rd percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, a steeper fall than nearby schools like Morton Ranch Elementary (stable at 67th percentile) or Loraine T Golbow Elementary (stable at 57th percentile). This decline is a key concern for parents considering this school.

A notable pattern is the widening gender gap in performance: in 2022-2023, male and female students both ranked in the 62nd percentile, but by 2025-2026, female students dropped to the 46th percentile while male students plummeted to the 21st percentile (1 star)—the largest gender-based gap among nearby schools. However, the school excels with its Gifted & Talented program, ranking in the 90th percentile (5 stars), and has historically served English Language Learners well, ranking in the 71st percentile in 2023-2024. In reading, 5th graders scored 58.4% proficient in 2025-2026, matching the state average and outperforming the school's 3rd and 4th graders, suggesting a strong 5th-grade team or targeted interventions.

Mathematics is a persistent weakness, with proficiency rates between 36% and 41% across all tested grades in 2025-2026, well below the district average of 55-61%, and science scores are notably low—17.1% proficient in 2024-2025 compared to the district average of 46.2%. Per-student spending ($11,951) is higher than at Morton Ranch Elementary ($10,912) and Loraine T Golbow Elementary ($10,650), both of which achieve better outcomes, indicating that resource allocation may need re-evaluation. The closest school, Morton Ranch Elementary (1.29 miles away), serves a similar demographic but achieves significantly better results, showing that the challenges at Diane Winborn are not insurmountable.

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
