Fort Bend Independent School District Reviews

Rating 3 out of 5
I've joined FBISD in 2015 in 3rd grade and graduated from a FBISD high school in 2024. I would say that FBISD is fairly organized in its administration and frequently gives students a student-holiday ( which is good). The best part of FBISD is the amount of diversity it has. I've never felt left out or uncomfortable with the people i went to school with because there is always a group of people I find myself fitting into. The worst parts is probably the school staff. Teachers are being underpaid, and overworked, thus causing a lack of passion in the classroom. History and science class provides us with fill in the blank worksheets to be filled out with a powerpoint, math is being taught by teachers who are not so well rounded in the subject, and English classes feel very surface level, and uninteresting. I am a firm beliver of creating a a better future by paying teachers higher wages to make education have a purpose

Fort Bend ISD is a very diverse and effective district. All the teachers and faculty make sure that the kids and parents are engaged in the students learning. Although the district is super strong it is not perfect. One of the biggest things that would be lovely if the district fixed is the lunches. Having 3 lunches is extremely inconvenient for the students and the staff. The middle lunch cuts into 5th period making it hard to take tests and stay concentrated. Also, having a 1 hour lunch rather than 30 minute gives the student time to actually relax and reset their brain in order to be able to continue learning effectively for the rest of the day. Overall the district and the faculty do an amazing job at making sure that students feel supported and comfortable while getting a high quality education.

I have been in the Fort Bend ISD district my entire life and i have nothing to complain about it. One of the great things in this district is the diversity from school to school. I have the opportunity to interact with others and learn about our differences and our similarities. Another amazing thing about this district is the education they offer to their students. Throughout my experience, I have been supported and helped with classes, grades, and assignments from teachers and staff, knowing they want the best for me. One thing I would like to change would be adding classes that teach more of the outside world, or life lessons as i like to call it. I fell that this opportunity will help students know not only academic courses but useful courses as a tool for the students' future.
