The Fort Bend Independent School District, also Fort Bend ISD or FBISD, is a school district system in the U.S. state of Texas based in the city of Sugar Land.
The district spans 174 square miles covering almost all of the city of Sugar Land, the city of Meadows Place, the Fort Bend county portion of Missouri City, Arcola, small sections of Houston, small sections of Pearland (including some of Shadow Creek Ranch), the unincorporated communities of Clodine, DeWalt, Mission Bend, and Fresno, and the Fort Bend county portion of the community of Rosharon. Fort Bend ISD is the ninth largest public school system in the state of Texas and third largest within the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown Metropolitan Area.
Fort Bend Independent School District was created by the consolidation of the Sugar Land ISD and Missouri City ISD in 1959. Fort Bend ISD has ten high schools, the newest being Travis High School. eleven middle schools, and thirty-seven elementary schools. The school district also has the Technical Education Center, the M. R. Wood Alternative Education Center, and the Progressive High School to serve a variety of vocational interests as well as special learning needs.
Fort Bend ISD is the largest employer in Fort Bend County with more than 7,800 district employees.
A portion of Stafford was formerly a part of Fort Bend ISD, but it broke away and formed the Stafford Municipal School District. Residents in Stafford's ETJ, however, are served by Fort Bend ISD, not Stafford MSD.
All houses or residential areas in Fort Bend ISD are assigned to an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.
