Summary

Lawrence E Elkins High School in Missouri City, TX, is a large, high-performing public school serving 2,848 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd). It has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, placing it in the 85th percentile among Texas high schools, with a strong graduation rate of 96.3% and a very low dropout rate of 0.5%.

Elkins stands out as a reliable, high-quality option in a polarized district. While nearby Clements High School and Ridge Point High School are elite 5-star schools, and others like Thurgood Marshall High School and Willowridge High School are lower-performing, Elkins has held a solid 4-star rating for years. It excels in Science and English Language Arts, with Biology proficiency rates nearly 19 points above the state average. However, it has a notable weakness in Algebra I, where proficiency rates have consistently fallen below the district average—a key difference from top-tier peers. Interestingly, nearby charter schools Yes Prep - Brays Oaks and Yes Prep - Southwest achieve similar rankings while serving a very different student population, highlighting Elkins' efficient use of resources.

Elkins shows strong performance for specific student groups, ranking in the 83rd percentile for Special Education students and the 87th percentile for female students. However, support for Hispanic and low-income students is less consistent, ranking in the 60th-67th percentile. The school also spends less per student ($8,514) than many nearby schools, including lower-performing ones like Willowridge ($13,230), suggesting effective management. This "middle child" status offers families a high-quality, well-rounded education without the intense pressure of top-tier schools, making it a compelling choice for many.

Dealing with the administration of this school has been one of the worse experiences I have had in my life. You have to call over & over again or send a 100 emails. I had to get student affairs to contact the principal so she would return my calls. The only solution they offer is tutoring for a struggling student & all they told me was NO, NO, NO on my requests. In conferences, they not only insulted the teachers & their abilities to teach, but insulted myself &my daughter blaming us for her struggling grades. They failed to realize as they said this that it was us reaching out to them. I had to go as far as contacting the superintendent to get anything accomplished. I have been told several different stories on why schedules where changed, they contradicted themselves numerous times in conversations & just plain didn't care and seemed that instead of wanting to help, they just wanted to brush this under the rug. Word to the wise, document everything. I printed out phone logs, emails and recorded conversations and meetings. Its hard to argue with the facts. Perhaps the school and the learning environment would be a better place if there were administrators that actually listened and acted on such matters rather than ignore & insult concerned parents/teachers.
