It’s no surprise that our schools did so well. They are part of the Fort Bend Independent School District. The district received an A rating from Niche.com, but that is only one of the many accolades Fort Bend ISD receives each year. Fort Bend ISD students are routinely recognized for exemplary achievements by the National Merit Scholars Program, the National Association of Music Merchants, Children at Risk, The Washington Post’s Top High Schools in the national rankings, U.S. News & World Report’s Best High Schools in the nation and the United States Presidential Scholars Program.

The Niche.com school rankings are based on a number of variables, including state test scores, graduation rates, diversity and quality of school administration. The data is compiled from public sources such as the Department of Education, U.S. Census and Common Core as well as parent surveys.

Congratulations to the teachers and staff of all three schools. You earned it!
