I find this statement false. I am a grandparent to 4 children at Griffin. I find the front office staff warm and friendly and very efficient.

Somehow Griffin received an 'exemplary' rating by the state of Texas, but quite honestly it hasn't lived up to that label at all. There isn't enough room here to list all the ways in which we've been disappointed, but I am extremely glad we only had one child at this school for one year and are now

I'm glad my kids are in private school now. I have had serious concerns about Katy ISD's overall philosophy and the execution of it at this school. My experience was that administration at the school and district level was not very responsive.

Best school attended in the area. We have been to Hayes, and Exley as well. Staff is great. Parents aren't too clicky. My daughter was above prepared for all testing. Teachers require work done in class, so grades are strictly dependent on student's own academic performance.
