===History of schools=== At the time FBISD formed, in 1959, there was one school for black students in Arcola, Oaklane Elementary School, serving grades 1β8. Black students in grades 9β12 were assigned to [[M.R. Wood School]] in Sugar Land. White students, at the time, were assigned to an elementary school in Missouri City, a junior high school in Sugar Land, and a high school in Missouri City. Those sites now house E. A. Jones Elementary School, Lakeview Elementary School, and Missouri City Middle School, respectively. [[Dulles High School (Sugar Land, Texas)|Dulles High School]] became established as the white high school of FBISD. Desegregation occurred in 1965, and Oaklane closed at that time.<ref name=FBISDSchoolHist/> Oaklane students were reassigned to Blue Ridge Elementary School in [[Blue Ridge, Houston|Blue Ridge]], now a part of Houston.
