Summary:
The 77406 zip code in Richmond, TX, is home to 14 schools serving grades PK-12, primarily split between the high-performing Lamar Consolidated Independent School District and the Fort Bend Independent School District (Isd), with one charter network, International Leadership Of Texas (Iltexas), also present.
Lamar CISD schools are the clear standouts in this area. Foster High School leads with a 5-star rating and a 90th percentile state ranking, while Joe Hubenak Elementary is a model of consistency, earning a 5-star rating for three consecutive years and ranking in the top 6% of Texas elementary schools. Briscoe Jh is the top middle school, ranking in the 88th-90th percentile. Fort Bend ISD schools, while generally solid, rank lower, with James C Neill Elementary showing notable recent improvement by jumping from the 66th to the 81st percentile. The ILTexas charter schools face the most significant challenges, serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and posting the lowest test scores in the zip code.
A key finding is the exceptional performance in middle school Algebra I. Both Briscoe Jh (98.4% proficient) and James Bowie Middle (99.5% proficient) achieve near-perfect scores, far exceeding the state average of 54%. However, 7th-grade math scores are a notable weakness across all middle schools, often falling below state averages. Both high schools, William B Travis High School and Foster, boast excellent graduation rates (97.4% and 95.7%, respectively) and very low dropout rates, making them strong options for families seeking a reliable path to graduation.
