Summary

Staley Middle in Frisco, TX, serves 591 students in grades 6-8 within the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), a district ranking in the 96th percentile statewide, and is notably smaller and more economically diverse than its nearby peers.

Staley Middle has experienced a significant decline in overall state rankings over the past five years, dropping from a 4-star rating (80th percentile) in 2019 to a 2-star rating (40th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Wester Middle, Pearson Middle, and Pioneer Heritage Middle, which consistently rank in the 96th-99th percentile. A key differentiator is the school's socioeconomic profile: 47.21% of Staley students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a rate 2 to 10 times higher than neighboring schools such as Griffin Middle (7.88%) and Hunt Middle (19.84%). Despite this, Staley spends significantly more per student ($13,635) and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio (11.4:1) compared to district averages, reflecting additional resources for its student population.

Interestingly, Staley shows a paradox in academic performance: while overall math scores for 6th-8th graders are low (e.g., 28% proficient in 6th grade math), its Algebra I program excels, with 94.74% of students proficient on the End-of-Course exam, outperforming the district (76.16%) and state (54.03%). However, the school struggles to serve key subgroups effectively, with low socio-economic status students ranking in the 11th percentile, Hispanic students in the 15th percentile, and English Language Learners in the 4th percentile statewide. In contrast, Gifted and Talented students perform relatively well (58th percentile). This data suggests Staley is a school in transition, facing unique challenges related to poverty and language acquisition that its more affluent neighbors do not, and its higher spending and smaller classes have not yet reversed the downward trend.
