My experience at KatyISD has been very rewarding. The high school I go to is very diverse, which feels welcoming towards students of color like me, and there are clubs and opportunities for everyone. Though the general feeling at KatyISD is that the students are kind, you really have to find the right crowd. I have seen many cases of students feeling left out when being new to my district, which I myself went through, but overall most students reach out and welcome you to join them! It has been far better than some of the other districts I have attended in the Houston area.
Katyisd is a school district with a curriculum that is enriching to each student's intellectual growth and creativity. Additionally, their resources being technologically advanced allows for a more interactive style of learning and ultimately encourages accessibility. The district seeks many opportunties to help accomodate students in order to better help each student reach success and fulfill their potential. On the other hand, Katyisd's lack of awareness regarding to weather announcements and other sorts of important statements lead students and parents feeling unsafe regarding coming to school. The district ignoring flood warnings and extreme storm alerts while also still not closing schools due to inclement weather does nothing but promote hazardous conditions. Katyisd blatantly puts their faculty and students at risk by instructing them to still make their way to school despite precarious circumstances.
First of all I want to say that I have received an excellent education in Katy ISD. I have been given every opportunity for academic success, wonderful extracurricular, and great teachers. The reason that I can not give KISD 5 stars is the current political environment involving book bans, promotes anti-LGBTQ rules, and oppression of anyone that is not a white, Christian and Republican, which incidentally is a majority of the population. Though as a senior these new rules have not had a significant effect on me to date, I definitely have concern for the politicized environment that my younger sibling is going to have to deal with. The board of directors seems more interested in forcing their political and religious beliefs on people than creating a positive and inclusive environment for all students.
