District Growth

Sheldon ISD is the largest growing out of all ten counties in the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area. From 2000 to 2010, district enrollment grew 61.5% and has annually averaged three to five percent growth since 2005. Annual enrollment growth rate change for the 2008–09 and 2009-10 school years was 6.8% and 5.9% respectively.
The construction of two major highways, US 90, and the Sam Houston Tollway, have been major drivers for growth. With easier access to the area, the district is expected to continue growing as new homes are built.
