Houston-area school districts, by published rating
A district letter grade is an average over dozens of campuses. The right question is which district serves your address.

Where a district shows a range, that is the published truth: strong districts contain weaker campuses. Ratings are district-wide averages and say little about any single campus.
Communities that span more than one district
Energy Corridor each straddle more than one district line. For these, the community name tells you almost nothing about the school on your street; work from the exact address instead.
Verify your address in two minutes
- Open txschools.gov and search the district named on the community page.
- Check the district's overall rating, then open its campus list and find the campuses nearest your address.
- Confirm attendance zoning with the district directly before you sign anything; published ratings describe last year, and boundaries move.
Questions people ask next
The honest answer is whichever district serves the address you can afford, judged on Texas Education Agency accountability ratings rather than reputation. The table below lists every district serving our covered communities with its published overall rating and the number of rated campuses behind it.
Districts such as Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, Conroe ISD, and Fort Bend ISD publish strong overall ratings across many campuses, but every one of them also contains lower-rated campuses. A district letter grade is an average; your specific address decides your campus.
Look up the exact address. Start with the district lookup steps on this page, then confirm the campus zone with the district itself, because attendance boundaries change and a community label is not a guarantee.
