At Elyson, we believe great communities start with great schools. That’s why our school-aged residents have access to not one, not two, but three incredible school options: Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD (Cy-Fair ISD) and Harmony School of Excellence (a public charter campus right in the neighborhood). Each one brings something special to the table, from award-winning academics to a STEM-focused curriculum to top-tier extracurriculars.
Of course, we wholeheartedly believe that you’re never too young (or too old) to expand your knowledge. Which is why there are also opportunities for daycare, pre-school and continuing education nearby.
What can we say? We love learning.
Where students will go all comes down to Peek Road: west = Katy ISD, east = Cy-Fair ISD
(And Harmony? They welcome students from either side!)
Katy ISD has a reputation as one of the best school districts in Texas — and it’s well earned. It’s ranked #1 in the Houston area for best teachers (by niche.com), and students here regularly post ACT and SAT scores above state and national averages. Translation? Kids thrive here. And with five Katy ISD schools in or near Elyson (including our newest school Boudny Elementary), your school commute just got a whole lot shorter. Keep in mind: students entering 12th grade in 2025 will attend nearby Paetow High School until Freeman High adds 12th grade in 2026.

Planning to live east of Peek Road? That will put you in Cy-Fair ISD, one of the most well-regarded school districts in the region. According to niche.com, it's ranked #2 in Harris County, #7 in the Houston area and #2 for athletes, so whether your kid’s a bookworm, a ballplayer or both, they’re in good hands. Cy-Fair is big on opportunity, with strong academics and tons of ways to get involved.
Looking for something a little different? Harmony School of Excellence – Katy might be your perfect fit. It’s a tuition-free, STEM-focused public charter school serving grades K–12 all on one shiny, modern campus right here in Elyson. And the best part? Anyone in Elyson can attend, no matter which district you’re zoned for.
