Around 2005 the president of the Shadow Creek Ranch Development, Gary Cook, asked Alvin ISD to make an exception for its transfer policy for Shadow Creek Ranch residents living in Fort Bend County. The Alvin ISD school board approved the policy, and beginning in the 2005–2006 school year students in kindergarten through sixth grade in the Fort Bend County portion were allowed to transfer to Alvin ISD until Fort Bend ISD builds schools to accommodate Shadow Creek Ranch children in its area. Previously some residents also got transfers to Pearland Independent School District (PISD) schools. In 2007 a section of SCR in FBISD was rezoned from Hightower High School to Willowridge prior to its development. By 2016 transfers generally were no longer issued as AISD and PISD schools became overcrowded, and some residents proposed seceding from FBISD and joining AISD.

Public libraries The Brazoria County Library System operates the Pearland Westside Library, located on of space in an area at the intersection of Business Center Drive at Memorial Hermann Drive, behind the H-E-B in the Shadow Creek Ranch Town Center.
