William Velasquez Elementary

Tucked into the fast-growing Richmond area of Fort Bend County, William Velasquez Elementary sits in one of the most dynamic suburban communities outside of Houston, where new neighborhoods and young families are arriving at a steady clip. The school performs solidly above average across English, math, and science, making it a reliable choice in a district — Lamar CISD — that's known for keeping pace with the area's growth. Families drawn to the affordable suburban lifestyle of Richmond, with easy access to Houston but a quieter, more spacious feel, will find Velasquez a welcoming and competent neighborhood school.
