Summary:
In zip code 77407, there is one middle school, David Crockett Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Richmond, Texas, as part of the Fort Bend Independent School District (ISD).
David Crockett Middle is a large school with 1,268 students and a student-teacher ratio of 16.4:1. The school has a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide, a slight decline from 4 stars the previous year. A standout strength is its advanced math program: in Algebra I, 89.92% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district (60.15%) and state (54.03%) averages. Similarly, 8th-grade science proficiency was 64.98% in 2024-2025, outperforming the district (55.54%) and state (46.25%). However, standard grade-level math proficiency is a significant challenge, with only 25.54% of 6th graders and 25.46% of 7th graders proficient in 2025-2026, well below state averages. Reading proficiency is a relative strength, particularly in 8th grade (67.55% proficient), though 7th-grade reading dips to 57.14%.
Despite nearly 70% of students being economically disadvantaged, the school achieves above-state averages in several key areas, including 8th-grade reading, science, and Algebra I, suggesting effective support for advanced learners. The dramatic year-over-year drop in 6th and 7th-grade math scores—from around 47-53% proficiency to 25%—is a major red flag that warrants investigation. The school maintains a very low dropout rate of 1.2%, and per-student spending is $9,646. Overall, David Crockett Middle excels in advanced coursework but faces clear challenges in core math instruction for the majority of its students.
