Summary

Sst Sugarland is a public charter school in Richmond, TX, serving 739 students in grades PK through 7, and is part of the high-performing School Of Science And Technology Discovery district. This school stands out for its consistent 4-star ratings over the last five years, ranking in the 81st percentile among Texas elementary schools, all while serving a student body where 71.85% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Its student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1 is competitive with nearby schools, and it offers a unique advantage by retaining students through 7th grade, unlike most area elementary schools that stop at 5th grade.

One of the most impressive aspects of Sst Sugarland is its exceptional performance with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 94th percentile for this subgroup. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Arizona Fleming Elementary and Mission West Elementary, which serve similar poverty levels but rank much lower overall. The school also excels in mathematics, consistently outperforming both the state and its district, with 65.15% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 44.33%. In upper grades, the results are even more striking: 90.28% of 7th graders were proficient in reading in 2024-2025, far exceeding the state average of 51.69%. This strong performance is achieved with lower spending per student ($7,236) compared to nearby Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd) schools, which spend between $9,318 and $13,560 per student.

While Sst Sugarland is a top performer, it is worth noting that the highest-performing nearby school, Carolyn And Vernon Madden Elementary, ranks in the 97th percentile but serves a much less economically disadvantaged population (23.16% low-income). This highlights Sst Sugarland's effectiveness in closing the achievement gap. However, the school saw a dip in reading proficiency in 4th and 5th grades in 2025-2026, which parents may want to monitor. Additionally, while the school excels with African American and low-income students, its performance with English Language Learners and Special Education students is more moderate, ranking in the 64th and 68th percentiles respectively. Overall, Sst Sugarland offers a strong, consistent option for families seeking a science and technology-focused education with proven results.

Absolute dumpster of a school, I had my son there for his kindergarten and 1st grade year. Their response to Covid is the reason my son is so far behind in his 2nd grade, his current teacher says at best he will be at a mid 2nd grade level by the end of this year. I am so glad I finally got him out of there. Close Quote
