King Elementary School - Katy ISD

Katy ISD · Katy / Lakecrest · 77493

King Elementary — formally Robert King Elementary — is a Katy ISD elementary at 1901 Charlton House Lane in Katy’s 77493 ZIP, north of Morton Road among the Lakecrest communities. In TEA’s 2025–26 state ratings the Lions earned a D (66 out of 100), serving about 1,011 students from early education through grade 5. This zone has Katy ISD’s most unusual feeder path: about two in three addresses attend Katy Junior High but then Morton Ranch High, while roughly one in three goes to Haskett Junior High and Paetow High — and a sliver stays with Katy High. The school honors Robert Edward King, who joined the district as a young teacher in 1955 and spent a career helping build it.

How King Elementary is rated

The Texas Education Agency grades every Texas campus on an A–F scale each year. In the most recent ratings (2025–26 school year), King earned an overall D — 66 out of 100 — down from a B (81) in 2024–25. A D deserves scrutiny, not spin: read the full report card, look at the domain scores, and visit the campus. Ratings change every year, so verify the current one at the live source:

Buying or selling a home zoned to King?

Three different high schools can follow from one elementary zone — that’s a fact worth more than any listing photo, because it changes commute, activities, and who your buyer pool is when you sell. I pull the district’s address-level assignment before we tour, not after. As your real estate buyer’s agent I’ll confirm the assignment on every home we visit, 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. Call or text me, Kevan Pewitt, at (281) 500-7077, email kevan@houstonprimerealty.com, or reach out here.
