Conroe ISD is a great place to get an education and according to a new ranking, it’s also a great place to work.
Forbes has released its 2024 list of America’s Best Employers By State. Conroe ISD comes in at No. 13 in the state and is the highest ranked among the state’s seven K-12 education systems included on the list. In all, there are 101 Texas companies included in the rankings. There are nearly 1,300 organizations ranked nationally from anonymous employee surveys. Questions included working conditions, compensation packages, potential for development and more. It is the third consecutive year for Conroe ISD to be ranked as one of Texas’ best employers.
Conroe ISD is the largest school district in Montgomery County and the county’s largest employer, with more than 10,000 employees (including substitutes). Encompassing 348 square miles, it is the second-largest district geographically among the top 24 enrollments in Texas.
