Stafford Municipal School District
Stafford Municipal School District is a school district based in Stafford, Texas, United States in Greater Houston. The district covers all of the city of Stafford and is controlled by the city, the only school district in Texas that is not an independent school district operated by an independent school board.
There are five schools on the campus of Stafford Municipal School District. The Primary/Elementary School building house grades Pre-K through 4, the Intermediate School building houses grades 5 through 6, and the Middle/High School building houses grades 7 through 12. The administration building and athletic facilities are on the same campus as the school buildings.
The Stafford MSD area is served by the Houston Community College System.
In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.[1]
History
In 1977, Stafford schools broke away from the Fort Bend Independent School District, which caused several rounds of federal litigation and by 1981 it was finally declared that the Stafford Municipal School District was constitutional. Almost all of Stafford was in the Fort Bend District, with a minuscule portion in the Houston Independent School District.[2] All of Stafford is now zoned to the Stafford Municipal School District, which is the only school district in all of Texas that is controlled by the city. And is still open and functioning to this day.
