Summary

Edgar Glover Junior Elementary is a K-5 school in Missouri City, TX, serving 338 students within the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), and it has experienced a significant academic decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating.

The school's most pressing challenge is its steep and sustained drop in statewide ranking, falling from the 57th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 16th percentile by 2025-2026. This decline is much sharper than nearby schools like Quail Valley Elementary and E A Jones Elementary, which have remained relatively stable. Math proficiency is a critical area of weakness, with only 21.9% of 4th graders meeting state standards, compared to 57.0% district-wide. This is notably lower than E A Jones Elementary, where 41.8% of 4th graders were proficient in math, despite serving a similar student population. Interestingly, the school maintains a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, which is better than most nearby schools, but this has not yet translated into academic improvement.

Despite these struggles, there are some positive aspects. The school has a history of strong performance with its English Language Learner students, who ranked in the 97th percentile statewide in 2021-2022. Additionally, when compared to Lantern Lane Elementary, a demographically similar school just 1.36 miles away, Edgar Glover outperforms it in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, in 5th-grade math, Edgar Glover's proficiency rate of 28.6% is significantly higher than Lantern Lane's 18.8%. The school's per-student spending of $14,353 is above the district average, suggesting that the issue is not a lack of funding, but rather how resources are being used to support student learning.
