About King Elementary
Robert E. King Elementary School is blessed to have a faculty and staff who truly understand the mission of a public elementary school in the 21st century. Our dedication to learner-centered instruction is demonstrated through collaborative efforts of the teachers, staff, parents, and district personnel as we work together to meet the complete needs of each individual child. King Elementary personnel utilize a variety of means to continually monitor the progress of each student towards the academic goals established by the state and the district.
Forefront in our minds as we plan for learning is the Katy ISD Portrait of a Graduate - what we want our students to know and be able to do when they graduate. Our teachers and staff plan instructional activities that align with their grade level curriculum objectives, building upon prior learning and preparing for future learning. Keeping this long-term vision in mind insures that when our students complete 5th grade, they are not only ready for junior high, but are well on their way to becoming successful graduates.
When parents come to enroll their children in King Elementary, they will find that our commitment to academic excellence is matched by our caring and concern for each child. Our teachers and staff are not only some of the most highly qualified and experienced school personnel to be found in any school, but also some of the most nurturing. By balancing our drive for academic excellence with our compassion for each child, we are able to attain continuous improvement in student achievement.
King Elementary lions truly are... "Roaring with pride"!!!
