Summary

Roach Middle in Frisco, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 953 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 96th percentile statewide.

Roach Middle has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, with a consistent state ranking in the 92nd to 96th percentile. The school boasts a healthy student-to-teacher ratio of 14.6:1 and a low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (around 14-15%). A standout feature is its exceptional Algebra I acceleration program, with proficiency rates near 100%, far exceeding the district average of 76% and the state average of 54%. However, this contrasts sharply with a relative weakness in 8th-grade mathematics, where only 40.52% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, below the district average of 56.46% and the state average of 47.24%. This suggests a "two-track" system where advanced math students are exceptionally well-served, while standard math instruction may need improvement. The school also shows strong performance for Gifted and Talented students (93rd percentile) and English Language Learners (89th-96th percentile), but has equity challenges with African American students (58th percentile) and low socio-economic status students (61st percentile).

In the competitive Frisco ISD landscape, Roach is a strong, reliable performer but not the top-tier school in its immediate vicinity. Nearby schools like Lawler Middle (ranked #8 in the state) and Nelson Middle (ranked #12) consistently outperform Roach in overall state ranking and test scores. Roach's per-student spending ($9,044) is lower than some peers like Wester Middle ($10,395) and Bill Hays Middle ($9,471) in the neighboring Prosper Independent School District (Isd). A stark contrast is seen with Leonard Evans Junior Middle in the McKinney Independent School District (Isd), just 2.57 miles away, which is a 3-star school with significantly lower test scores and a much higher poverty rate (39.6% free/reduced lunch).
