Summary

Katy High School is a large, established high school in the Katy Independent School District (Isd), serving over 3,500 students in grades 9-12 and earning a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

Katy High School is a solidly "good" school, ranking in the top 15% of Texas high schools (89th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. However, it operates in a highly competitive district where several nearby schools achieve even higher rankings. While Katy High School performs well above the state average on standardized tests, it is clearly outperformed by schools like Seven Lakes High School, Tompkins High School, and Jordan High School, all of which achieve 5-star ratings and rank in the top 3% of the state. This creates a clear tier within the district, with Katy High School sitting in the middle alongside Taylor High School (89th percentile) and Cinco Ranch High School (93rd percentile).

Katy High School's most significant differentiator is its exceptional support for Special Education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating—a remarkable achievement that far exceeds most schools, including its high-performing peers. The school also earns a 5-star rating for its White student subgroup. However, there are notable areas for concern. The school shows a persistent weakness in Algebra I, with only 68.77% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well below the district average of 77.31%. Additionally, while the graduation rate is high at 94.1%, it has consistently lagged behind the district average, and the dropout rate has been double the district average for the last five years. About 37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing the school in a middle-ground position within the district's socioeconomic landscape.

Awesome school with a long tradition of excellence. Unlimited extracurricular activities, the best in almost everything. My student has also had only knowledgeable, engaged teachers. So glad we're zoned here and have more kids coming up to become KHS Tigers! Close Quote
