Katy ISD Earns Texas Honor Roll Distinction, 31 Campuses Recognized for Academic Excellence and Student Growth
For families across Katy ISD, academic success isn’t just a statistic — it’s a reflection of the classrooms their children walk into each morning.
This week, Katy Independent School District reinforced its standing as one of the highest-performing school districts in Texas, with 31 campuses earning placement on the 2025 Texas Honor Roll. The District itself also received the prestigious Honor Roll distinction, recognizing strong academic outcomes and measurable student growth across grade levels.
The annual Texas Honor Roll, presented by Educational Results Partnership (ERP), identifies schools and districts that demonstrate consistently high academic performance, significant student growth and progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups. Only about 15 percent of eligible schools and 14.5 percent of eligible districts statewide earned this recognition in 2025 — placing Katy ISD firmly among the state’s top performers.
For homeowners, parents and community members, the designation carries weight beyond campus walls. Strong academic performance directly impacts neighborhood desirability, property values and long-term economic confidence in the Katy area.
What the Texas Honor Roll Means for Katy Families
The 2025 Texas Honor Roll rankings were determined through analysis of STAAR testing data from 2023 to 2025. ERP evaluated student proficiency levels, academic growth and outcomes among historically underserved student populations to ensure schools were not only achieving high scores, but also advancing equitable outcomes.
“Our Katy ISD campuses are consistently demonstrating that high achievement and student growth go hand in hand,” Katy ISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski said. “This recognition reflects the relentless focus our educators place on meeting every student’s needs, maintaining rigorous expectations and ensuring all learners have the tools to excel.”
The Honor Roll distinction provides a measurable benchmark of performance. It confirms what many parents already experience firsthand — classrooms where expectations are high and student progress is closely monitored.
