Summary:
The 77478 zip code area in Texas is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD) except for the two Harmony Public Schools charter schools. While the schools show diversity in their student populations, there are notable differences in their academic performance, with the Harmony charter schools consistently outperforming the district and state averages on STAAR tests, particularly in reading and math.
The standout schools in this area are Harmony Science Academy-Sugar Land and Harmony School of Excellence - Sugar Land, both of which earn top ratings and have exceptional STAAR test scores. In contrast, the traditional public schools show more variability, with Dulles High School performing well overall but struggling in Algebra I, and the elementary schools like Highlands Elementary and Barrington Place Elementary exhibiting a range of performance levels.
The data also reveals that the schools with the highest percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Dulles Elementary and Barrington Place, tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. However, spending per student does not seem to directly correlate with performance, as some of the higher-spending schools do not outperform the lower-spending charter schools.
