Summary

Clark Middle in Frisco, TX, serves 824 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd), ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. While Clark is a strong school in absolute terms, it is surrounded by some of the best middle schools in Texas, such as Lawler Middle (100th percentile) and Fowler Middle (99th percentile), which consistently outperform it in nearly every metric. This creates a unique dynamic where Clark is a solid performer but relatively lower-performing compared to its immediate neighbors, making it a "middle of the pack" choice in a district full of superstars.

One of the most notable differences at Clark is its higher socioeconomic diversity, with 23.54% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, compared to just 4.1% at Lawler and 4.75% at Nelson Middle. Academically, Clark excels in advanced math, with 94.55% of Algebra I test-takers scoring proficient, far above the district average of 76.16% and competitive with top schools like Lawler and Fowler. However, the school struggles with standard math proficiency, particularly in 6th grade, where only 49.81% of students are proficient, significantly lower than the district average of 65.26% and peers like Lawler at 95.53%. Reading scores are more competitive with nearby schools like Hunt Middle, but the math gap is a key area for improvement.

Clark also shows a fascinating contrast in its subgroup performance, serving its Gifted and Talented students exceptionally well (91st percentile) and its Special Education students effectively (89th percentile), while struggling more with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (67th percentile). The school's overall state ranking has declined slightly from a peak of the 93rd percentile in 2017-2018 to the 89th percentile for 2025-2026, a trend that contrasts with neighbors like Lawler and Fowler, which have maintained top-1% status. Compared to Staley Middle, which has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 47.21% and ranks in the 40th percentile, Clark significantly outperforms, highlighting its ability to provide a high-quality education relative to its student demographics.
