Schools
Avalon sits inside Fort Bend ISD and is zoned to three of its most highly regarded campuses — with respected private schools and early learning centers minutes away.
01 — Fort Bend ISD
Every Avalon address feeds the same three campuses, each within a short drive of the community's gates.
Opened in the late 1990s as First Colony and the surrounding master-planned communities expanded, Commonwealth celebrated its twentieth year of instruction in 2017.
The zoned elementary campus for every Avalon address. Known for a strong parent-teacher organization, character education, and an unusually international student body.
Fort Settlement opened in 2001 serving the newly built subdivisions south of Sugar Land — Avalon among them — and has since grown to roughly 1,400 students.
Recognized for academic rigor and a deep fine-arts and athletics program. Its band, orchestra, and UIL academic teams are regular regional competitors.
Clements opened in 1983 as Fort Bend ISD's third high school, named for former Texas Governor William P. Clements, and marked its fortieth anniversary in 2023.
A repeat entry on Texas Monthly's list of the state's top high schools, with a broad Advanced Placement catalog, nationally competitive academic teams, and a long record of National Merit recognition.
