Summary:
The 16 schools in zip code 77459 in Missouri City, Texas serve students from elementary through high school, and are all part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD). While the district as a whole is ranked 356 out of 968 in Texas, several standout schools in this zip code, such as Donald Leonetti Elementary and Sienna Crossing Elementary, are among the top-performing elementary schools in the state, with over 70% of students proficient in reading and math.
At the high school level, Ridge Point High School stands out as the highest-ranked in the zip code, with a 95.2% four-year graduation rate and strong test scores across subjects. In contrast, some schools, like Lantern Lane Elementary and Dr. Lynn Armstrong Elementary, struggle with less than 40% proficiency in many subjects, which appears to be correlated with their high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data reveals a significant performance gap between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the zip code, highlighting the complex interplay of factors, such as socioeconomic status and district-level support, that contribute to academic success. While the majority of schools in this area are performing at or above the state average, the exceptional performance of a few schools, like Donald Leonetti Elementary and Sienna Crossing Elementary, demonstrates that with the right resources and strategies, schools can overcome socioeconomic challenges and provide a high-quality education for all students.
