Katy ISD Campuses Make Just For the Kids Higher Performing Schools List

(February 3, 2010) – The National Center for Educational Achievement recently released the 2009 Just For the Kids Higher Performing Schools list with 22 Katy ISD campuses being named this year. The Higher Performing Schools list is based on academic growth among schools with similar demographics.

“It is exciting to see our campuses make academic-based lists such as this,” said Katy ISD Superintendent Alton Frailey.  “Our staff continues to work hard to provide challenging learning environments that meet the academic needs for all of our students.”

NCEA reviews three years of test results when determining its higher performing school list. Therefore, schools built after 2006 do not have enough data to be included in this year’s results.

Katy ISD Higher Performing Schools include:

• Taylor, Seven Lakes and Cinco Ranch High Schools;
• Beck, Beckendorff and McMeans Junior High Schools; and
• Alexander, Rylander, Kilpatrick, Nottingham Country, McRoberts, Mayde Creek, Katy, Exley, Hayes, Schmalz, Williams, Pattison, Griffin, Fielder, Creech, and Winborn Elementary Schools.
