Summary

Anne McCormick Sullivan Elementary in Sugar Land, TX, is a large, high-performing school serving 1,053 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently ranks among the top 1% of all Texas elementary schools, currently sitting at 38th out of 4,627 schools statewide, and has never ranked lower than 68th in the past seven years.

What truly sets Sullivan Elementary apart is its exceptional academic performance, with STAAR test scores that are nearly double the state average in several subjects. For example, 5th-grade reading proficiency is at 90.58% compared to the state average of 58.47%, and 5th-grade math proficiency is at 91.1% versus the state average of 47.38%. The school is part of a remarkable cluster of excellence, with nearby Commonwealth Elementary (ranked 25th) and Sonal S Bhuchar Elementary (ranked 40th) also in the top 40 statewide. Sullivan Elementary achieves these top-tier results with notable financial efficiency, spending $8,666 per student—significantly less than nearby schools like Colony Bend Elementary ($11,730) or Quail Valley Elementary ($16,032).

One of the school's most impressive achievements is its phenomenal support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 100th percentile statewide in 2023-2024. While the school excels for many student groups, its performance for White students is slightly lower, earning a 4-star rating compared to the 5-star ratings for other subgroups.
