#10 Best School Districts in Houston Area
Junior: I had issues at my old school, which made me want to move out of district (there was only one high school in that district), so we applied for the transfer and was accepted almost immediately!
When I first transferred to Kingwood Park High school, They were extremely friendly, and kind, although the curriculum was much more stimulating and challenging for me, all of my teachers were so encouraging and helpful.

#15 Best School Districts in Houston Area
Niche User: SBISD has an awesome group of teachers, mentors and educators. Newer / nicer schools are being built. Schools, students, and staff are diverse and there are many learning opportunities to learn and grow at SBISD! Parent involvement is low and graduation rates have been low but SBISD has created initiatives to change that! This is a growing community and the location is great for Houston! Schools provide a lot of opportunity for you and your family!

Houston Independent School District
School District
Houston, TX
974 reviews
Alum: HISD has provided me with great experiences. I have attended 2 schools within this district. One focused on academics while the other helped international students adapt to the environment. With that being said, each school is diverse and very welcoming. Most of the teachers are great! You can tell they care about the impact they make on their students. They encourage students to join sports and clubs focused on STEM/ interests. The district also provides free transportation and free/ reduced lunch for kids who are eligible.
One less thing to worry about!
The good thing is that they allow students to transfer schools if they are not satisfied with that school. The whole process is really easy too.
However, HISD could work on their response time in critical times like in the flooding season. They need to prioritize student/staff safety over attendance.
Overall, good district. I feel prepared for college and I believe I am provided the resources available to succeed.

Splendora Independent School District
School District
Splendora, TX
16 reviews
Alum: Splendora ISD is outstanding for their students academically and overall ensuring the well being of their students. I graduated from their in 2018 and hope to become half as good as the teachers that have taught me. I have learned a lot not only from the textbook but how to become a better friend, daughter, sister and future teacher. I can’t wait to see where Splendora ISD is at in the near future I’m hearing some great changes with adding a new elementary school along with even more fantastic teachers that can’t wait to cultivate the minds of future. I hope my kids one day can be apart of the wildcat family.

Aldine Independent School District
School District
Houston, TX
345 reviews
Alum: I've been enrolled in the Aldine ISD District since Kindergarten and now I'm a high school graduate from Benjamin O. Davis. This is where I first met my friends and kept connections with my teachers. The district offers many organizations and clubs even at elementary level. I was a part of book club, spelling bee, student council, ladies of excellence, choir, National Junior Honor Society, Future Farmers of America and Business Professionals of America. I love that the district is incredibly diverse but it needs improvement with helping students, especially immigrants. Counselors need to be more involved in motivating students to stay out of trouble and avoid ditching class, fighting, and even safety. Because the district is located in Houston, we occasionally have to close schools for student's safety. Besides that, the district could improve the ways of learning by building a more comfortable setting.

Cleveland Independent School District
School District
Cleveland, TX
18 reviews
Alum: Cleveland High School gave me a bunch of great memories that I will never forget. It was amazing to be involved and having a small community made it that much better to be close and connected. But as far as academics, I could say it wasn’t the best. As valedictorian of the class of 2017, I can see many of the flaws in the system. Teachers and administrators did not prepare us for college enough. It felt as though they just wanted us to graduate. Students’ education and future starts in high school and the high school should push them more and push past the normal statistics of the city of Cleveland in order to make a positive change in the education system.

The Village School
Private School
Houston, TX
PK, K-12
159 reviews
Junior: My experience at The Village School has been truly amazing. From smaller class sizes, closer teacher-student interactions, and well-learned and experienced teachers and staff, I’ve been able to get the attention I need to enhance my learning experience. Village has also allowed me to discover my passions and interests through the various clubs, extracurriculars, electives, and sports that it offers. In addition, the diversity of the students at Village makes this place so unique. Gaining exposure to the various cultures present at this school has definitely made me more open-minded and accepting of people of different backgrounds. I honestly couldn’t see myself in another high school!
