Schools in The Woodlands

Conroe ISD earned an overall B rating and a score of 85 in the Texas Education Agency's 2026 A-F Accountability Ratings, marking the third consecutive year at that same B-and-85 result, per Community Impact and the district's own reporting. The district earned a B in each of the three individual accountability domains TEA measures: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps -- a consistent result across measures, not a single high-scoring domain masking weaker ones.
Campus-Level Breakdown
Of Conroe ISD's 66 rated campuses for 2026, 22 earned an A, 26 earned a B, 11 earned a C, five earned a D, and two earned an F. That means 48 campuses -- nearly 73% -- graded A or B, and nearly 90% graded C or higher. Lamar Elementary and Stockton Junior High each earned their first-ever overall A ratings in the state's A-F system this cycle, a real, named improvement rather than a generic "the district is getting better" claim.
Conroe ISD Serves More Than Just The Woodlands
Conroe ISD is a large district covering much of Montgomery County, not a Woodlands-exclusive school system -- its 66 rated campuses and district-level B grade blend schools across the broader county, including communities well outside The Woodlands itself. Per the prompt for this build and general knowledge of the area's district boundaries, most but not necessarily all of The Woodlands falls within CISD; confirm the specific assigned campus for any given address via the Texas Education Agency's TXschools.gov database rather than assuming district-level figures describe every Woodlands address uniformly, the same caveat applied on Houston's own schools topic page for HISD.
How This Compares to Houston ISD
Conroe ISD's overall B grade and 85 score compare favorably to Houston ISD's own 2026 B grade, though HISD's underlying campus-level distribution (75% of rated campuses earning A or B, per Houston's schools topic page) is very close to CISD's nearly-73% figure -- the two districts land in a broadly similar place on this specific measure, even though HISD carries the added, disclosed context of a 2023 state takeover and a documented 2026 grade-inflation controversy that CISD's sourcing this session did not surface as an issue.
Key takeaways
- Conroe ISD earned an overall B rating (score of 85) in TEA's 2026 A-F Accountability Ratings, its third consecutive year at that result, with a consistent B across all three individual accountability domains.
- 48 of 66 rated CISD campuses (nearly 73%) earned an A or B for 2026; about 90% earned a C or higher. Lamar Elementary and Stockton Junior High earned first-ever A ratings this cycle.
- Conroe ISD covers much of Montgomery County, not just The Woodlands -- confirm the specific assigned campus for any address via TXschools.gov rather than relying on the district-level figure alone.
- CISD's overall B/85 result is broadly comparable to Houston ISD's own 2026 B grade, though HISD carries additional, disclosed context (a 2023 state takeover and a 2026 grade-inflation controversy) that was not surfaced for CISD in this session's sourcing.
