About schools in Fort Bend County

Fort Bend County stretches southwest of Houston through a rapidly growing suburban corridor, and its schools reflect that momentum directly. With 173 ranked public schools across 11 districts — and 97 of them scoring in the top quartile statewide — this is one of Texas's most academically competitive counties. Fort Settlement Middle and Commonwealth Elementary, both in Sugar Land, each score at the 100th percentile statewide, as does Seven Lakes Junior High in Katy. That kind of concentration at the top, spread across multiple cities and districts, gives families meaningful options rather than a single standout school carrying the county's reputation.
