Kilpatrick Elementary — formally Odessa Kilpatrick Elementary — is a Katy ISD elementary at 26100 Cinco Ranch Boulevard in Katy’s 77494 ZIP, serving about 970 students from early education through grade 5. In TEA’s 2024–25 state ratings it earned an A (95 out of 100) with all six eligible distinction designations.

Today’s campus splits its feeder path along Cinco Ranch Boulevard: the Marshall Oaks–Cinco Ranch West side continues through Cinco Ranch Junior High to Tompkins, and the Seven Meadows side through Beckendorff to Seven Lakes High.

Buying or selling a home zoned to Kilpatrick?

An all-A pair of feeder chains off one 95-scoring elementary gives this zone unusual flexibility — but Tompkins-or-Seven-Lakes is still settled address by address, and it moves resale demand between sections. As your real estate buyer’s agent I’ll confirm which chain a home rides before we tour, weigh dues, MUD taxes and flood history, and negotiate on your behalf — we’ll agree on how I’m paid up front and in writing.

Who was Odessa Kilpatrick?

Odessa Kilpatrick Punchard was a trailblazer — hired in 1929 as the sole teacher of Katy’s African-American elementary students, she went on to give the district 42 years and became its first African-American principal. The original campus bearing her name was one of just four Katy ISD schools in the 1950s; today’s campus on Cinco Ranch Boulevard carries the name forward with an Australian Outback theme — the “Wonder from Down Under.” School hours are 8:23 a.m. to 3:40 p.m.
