Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, also Lamar Consolidated ISD, Lamar CISD or LCISD, is a public school district in the U.S. state of Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Metropolitan Area.

Lamar CISD includes almost 43 percent of Fort Bend County,[citation needed] covering the cities of Richmond, Rosenberg, Kendleton, Simonton, Thompsons, Weston Lakes, a very small portion of Sugar Land, most of Fulshear, most of the village of Pleak, the census-designated place of Cumings, a portion of the Pecan Grove CDP, the community of Lakemont, the unincorporated areas of Booth, Crabb, Foster, and Powell Point, and most of the unincorporated rural areas (including areas in Sugar Land's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) in central Fort Bend County.[citation needed]

Lamar CISD enrolls over 44,000 students and is the fastest-growing district in Fort Bend County. In 2013 it received the highest possible academic rating (Met Standard) from the Texas Education Agency.

Dr. Roosevelt Nivens began his tenure as superintendent on June 1, 2021.

The 6th Junior and High School opened in the fall of 2021 with the completion of Dr. Thomas E Randle High School and Harry Wright Junior High School.

The 7th Secondary Complex opened in the fall of 2025, adding Gene Tomas High School, Ella Banks Junior High School, and Bielstein Middle School. Alice Deanne Fagert Elementary School is also on the secondary complex.

History

In 1947 LCISD was first defined in the Fort Bend County public records. It was a consolidation of Richmond ISD, Rosenberg ISD and Beasley ISD along with a number of rural "Common School Districts". The names of the Common School Districts were: Rice Farm, Thompsons, Booth, Simonton, Fulshear, Foster, Brandt, George, Cottonwood & Pleak. Beginning in 1985, LCISD began serving middle and high school students from the Kendleton Independent School District (KISD)'s boundaries. KISD and its one school, Powell Point Elementary, were merged into Lamar CISD on July 1, 2010. KISD ceased operations on that date and LCISD began serving elementary students from the former KISD. Kendleton ISD was originally one Common School District, also called Kendleton. In 2009, Lamar CISD was named an H.E.B. Excellence in Education School District.

Dr. Thomas Randle served as the district superintendent from 2001 until his retirement in 2021. During his tenure, LCISD grew from approximately 16,000 students to 34,000 students.

There were 36,345 students in 2020, and 44,385 students in 2024.
