Fort Bend Education
Primary and Secondary education continues to be the standard and main attraction for those looking to raise a family in the area. Fort Bend County’s superior public school districts constantly rate above regional, state and national standards, as well as parochial and private schools that rank with the best in Greater Houston.
Another hallmark characteristic of Fort Bend is its Higher and Continuing Education resource cluster, a distinct advantage in the consideration of business relocation decisions.

Furthermore, all of Greater Houston’s plethora of colleges and universities are closeby, such as the less than 25 minute commutes to Rice University, Central Campus-University of Houston, St. Thomas University, and Houston Baptist University. This is the type of educational environment one would expect in Fort Bend where an estimated 40% of Fort Bend’s adult population over the age of 25 has earned a Bachelor’s Degree or higher.
