Four of Klein ISD's five high schools now carry an A rating from the Texas Education Agency, and every one of them scored a straight A in college, career and military readiness.

Every campus improved.

The district released its 2026 accountability results Thursday, Aug. 13, showing Klein High and Klein Oak tied at the top with scores of 94, Klein Cain and Klein Collins each at 93, and Klein Forest at 89. The district's overall rating hit 88, an 8-point climb from the 80 it posted when TEA reset its grading system in 2023.

Klein Cain posted the biggest single-year leap among the A-rated campuses, jumping six points from 87 to 93 to earn its first A under the current standards. Klein Forest, the district's only B-rated high school, gained eight points from 81 to 89.

"These results are something our entire Klein Family can celebrate," Superintendent Jenny McGown said Thursday, Aug. 13. "They reflect meaningful academic growth and the incredible determination of the people behind our year-over-year gains."

Klein Oak principal Thomas Hensley highlighted his campus's back-to-back A ratings in an Instagram post, noting the school also earned TEA distinctions in Postsecondary Readiness and Top 25% Comparative Closing the Gaps.

As we reported Thursday, Aug. 13, Klein Collins matched Klein Cain's 93 after climbing five points from 88. Klein High, which earned its first-ever A in 2025 under principal Shannon Strole's SMART-goals strategy, pushed two points higher to 94 this year.

The CCMR sweep matters for the roughly 51,000 students in the district. Klein ISD's Class of 2026 earned a record $115.3 million in scholarships, more than $30 million above the Class of 2025's total, according to a separate district announcement Aug. 6.

Klein ISD's year-over-year trajectory since the 2023 reset: 80, 84, 86, 88. The district said it outperformed both the region and the state in meeting grade-level expectations across all tested subjects.
