Diane Winborn Elementary School

Nothing more than an underfunded daycare. The office and administration are an absolute joke. The place is filthy and lacks a healthy environment for learning. It literally is a abscess in the Katy school district. The schools reputation is well known in Katy. If you live in this district, move, homeschool or pay for private.

“As a parent new to the district, my experience with this school has been extremely frustrating. The enrollment process was unclear, and I was not provided with guidance on how to register my child or access important systems (such as report cards or school communication platforms).When I reached out for support, the office staff and registration team were often short, unhelpful, and at times unprofessional in their interactions. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like an inconvenience.Communication overall is inconsistent. I have not received clear information about how to stay informed about my child’s progress or school updates, which is concerning as a parent trying to stay engaged.Schools should create a welcoming environment for families, especially those new to the district. Unfortunately, this school currently feels like a closed-door environment rather than a supportive community.I would not recommend this school at this time. There is a clear need for improved customer service, stronger communication systems, and a more intentional approach to welcoming and supporting families.

TERRIBLE SCHOOL! The staff at this school is the worst that I have seen at any school!!!! If you can help it please do not send your students here. I read reviews about how horrible this school is but we moved in the neighborhood so I decided to still take a chance and I wish I would have listened to the reviews! They truly do have horrible human beings employed at Franz Elementary.

This is a terrible school. The administration is not prepared to run the school and should be penalized and taken the right away to start the school. It’s a joke. They don’t feed the kids properly especially the special ed kids who only get whatever the teacher wants toBring from the cafe, zero regulations, zero accountability, the kids yell and literally hit the teacher and there’s no one to help discipline them and teach them the right way to do things…. It’s gonna manifest ppl who end up in jail if they let this school continue … terrible terrible place for kids and teachers because the admin sucks and way understaffed and no discipline or accountability. Absolutely zerox move if you have to but don’t put your kids here if you like them

The school is not preparing kids for US Colleges because they don’t have an AP system and universities here don’t care about the IB.
