Summary

Franz Elementary is a public elementary school located in Katy, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 1,097 students. It is part of the Katy Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 172 out of 961 school districts in Texas and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Franz Elementary's Gifted and Talented program is a strength, ranking 14 out of 2,980 Texas elementary schools, the school's overall academic performance on STAAR tests lags behind the Katy ISD and Texas state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Franz Elementary was 47.54%, 51.13%, and 54.94%, respectively, compared to Katy ISD's scores of 67%, 67.56%, and 72.38%, and the Texas state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%. Similar trends are observed in STAAR Mathematics and STAAR Science, where Franz Elementary's performance lags behind the district and state averages.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 79.67% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, may contribute to the overall academic challenges. When compared to nearby schools in the Katy ISD, such as Ursula Stephens Elementary, Franz Elementary consistently underperforms on STAAR tests, suggesting that there may be factors within the school or the local community that contribute to the differences in academic achievement. However, the school's strong Gifted and Talented program and the potential for learning from higher-performing nearby schools provide opportunities for growth and improvement.
