KISD is an excellent district overall. Employees selected are often well qualified for their positions, facilities are well kept and the attention on student safety is phenomenonal! However like any thing great, it has its weaknesses. One of the biggest weaknesses within Katy ISD is their parent involvement and communication. I hear from many of my peers that their parents complain often about how they didn't know certain things or that information sent to them wasn't very clear or well organized. So, if I had to recommend anything they really need to focus their attention on to improve it would 100% be Parent Involvement and Communication for sure!
I have adored my years as a student in Katy ISD and enjoy each day at OTHS. I believe that generally Katy ISD takes pride in maintaining beautiful campuses and ensuring the safety of its students. The teaching staff at these schools is wonderful and they offer a wide variety of classes for all kinds of students and career paths. While I love attending a Katy ISD school, I believe that the district is not very environmentally conscious and spends funding on superficial and unnecessary items for the district. While the district holds thousands of students, using dozens of pieces of paper per student per day, Katy ISD has removed recycling bins from schools, leaving teachers to toss piles of papers into the trash. This is incredibly harmful to the environment and places a negative image upon the district. Aside from this, Katy Independent School District is a lovely district to enroll your students in with friendly students and staff and fully prepares kids for college!
I have attended Katy ISd schools through my school career. Each and every school has help me succeed. My favorite has been my teen leadership class and drama classes at Beckendorf Junior High. Those skills help me to come out of being shy and help me to achieve getting a job as a life guard for two years. They taught me how to communicate, interview for a job and successfully work well with others working as a team. Those classes even taught me how to communicate with my teachers in high school and with my baseball coaches to achieve my goals. I have thoroughly enjoyed my last 4 years of high school at Seven Lakes High School. I have successfully played baseball through the program and my coaches have helped me to reach the next level through instruction and constructive criticism. They also have taught me what it takes to be a great team member so that it will continue with my future achievements. I have been lucky to have amazing counselors that have helped me to achieve my goals!
