            Hidden between the metropolis of Houston and the growing East Fort Bend County, Stafford Municipal School District maintains its small-school environment while addressing educational needs of the 21st century. What began as a grassroots mission with 547 students has evolved into a mid-sized public school district, fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency with an enrollment just nearing 3000.

            The tree-lined complex is home to five campuses, addressing the instructional needs of students from early childhood development through twelfth grade. Stafford High School offers dual credit courses with Houston Community College Southwest as well as Advance Placement classes.  Students interested in exploring engineering may begin classes at Stafford Middle School and end with high school classes and internships with local engineering firms through the SEAL academy.  SMSD facilities are designed to allow all of the district's students to attend the same elementary and secondary schools without the disruption of ever-changing school attendance zones.  This concept lends itself to the continuation of curriculum as seen through the SEAL academy.  Classrooms are equipped with networked computers for instructional purposes with the availability of other technology and distance learning labs on each campus. The district prides itself in allowing students to participate in as many school activities and organizations as possible, provided that high academic standards are maintained.

            Stafford Primary School and Stafford Elementary School have earned TEA's Recognized rating and the district earned Academically Acceptable rating. Stafford High School athletes have been named not only to all-district and all-state teams but also to Academic All-State teams as well.

            As a municipal school district, and through a partnership with the City of Stafford, the district benefits by utilizing the city's municipal swimming pool and the Stafford Civic Center, both located within the district's complex. These facilities allow extension in curriculum by offering swimming lessons to second- and fourth-graders; and by allowing performing arts a formal venue for student functions.
