Stafford Elementary

Stafford Elementary sits in the heart of Stafford, a small independent city tucked between Houston and Sugar Land that's known for its unusually diverse, working-class community and its own municipal school district — a rarity in the area. The school's science scores show some real promise, even as English and math remain areas of growth, making it a school that families in the neighborhood rely on while hoping to see continued improvement. Families drawn to the tight-knit feel of Stafford's close community, with easy access to the broader Houston metro, will find this school reflects the unpretentious, hardworking character of the city itself.
