Summary

Taylor Elementary is a high-performing K-5 school in Plano, TX, serving 744 students as part of the top-ranked Frisco Independent School District (Isd), which sits in the 96th percentile statewide. This school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, offering a stable, well-rounded education that consistently ranks in the 95th to 97th percentile over the last five years. While it is surrounded by a cluster of equally impressive schools—like Talley Elementary and McSpedden Elementary in Frisco ISD, and Wyatt Elementary and Skaggs Elementary in Plano Independent School District (Isd)—Taylor stands out for its broad-based excellence rather than peak scores in any single subject.

Taylor’s greatest strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 93rd to 97th percentile statewide over the last three years—a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from nearby schools. The school also excels in 5th-grade Science, with 69% of students proficient in 2024-2025, which is 39 points above the state average. However, a recurring pattern is a slight dip in 3rd-grade Math, where proficiency was 66.39% in 2025-2026—still 22 points above the state average but lower than neighbors like Talley (82.14%) and McSpedden (83.97%). Additionally, performance with Gifted and Talented (GT) students dropped from the 97th to the 87th percentile recently, an area worth monitoring.

Taylor achieves these results with efficient spending ($8,249 per student), lower than many Plano ISD schools like Skaggs ($11,790) and Wyatt ($10,568). A dramatic contrast exists with Smith Elementary, just 2 miles away in the same district, which ranks in the 78th percentile with significantly lower scores (e.g., 3rd-grade Math at 44.44% vs. Taylor’s 66.39%). This highlights how school performance can vary even within close proximity. For families seeking a reliable, high-quality elementary education in the Plano/Frisco area, Taylor offers consistency and a strong foundation for all learners.
