Summary

Carlisle Elementary is a K-5 school in the Plano Independent School District (Isd) serving 436 students in a well-established residential area of Plano, TX. Historically a high-performing school that consistently ranked in the top 15-20% of Texas elementary schools, Carlisle has experienced a significant recent decline, dropping to the 69th percentile (3 stars) in the 2025-2026 school year—its lowest point in a decade. This marks a sharp contrast to nearby schools like Hughston Elementary (98th percentile) and Beverly Elementary (98th percentile), which continue to maintain top-tier status just a mile or two away.

The school's overall decline is driven by notable struggles with specific student groups, including a dramatic drop in performance for Asian students (from the 41st to 15th percentile) and Hispanic students (from the 84th to 26th percentile) over the past two years. However, there are bright spots: Carlisle performs exceptionally well for its Special Education students (85th percentile, 4 stars) and Gifted and Talented students (77th percentile, 4 stars), suggesting effective targeted programs that could serve as models for improvement. The school also shows inconsistent grade-level performance, with strong 5th-grade math scores (65.79% proficient) but significantly weaker 3rd-grade math scores (42.67% proficient), indicating possible challenges with foundational skill-building in early grades.

With 28.9% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, Carlisle sits in a moderate demographic middle ground—higher than top-performing neighbors like Wells Elementary (12.74%) but much lower than lower-performing Thomas Elementary (77%). The school's spending per student ($9,625) and student-teacher ratio (14.2) are on the lower end compared to peers like Davis Elementary ($12,556) and Hughston Elementary ($12,457). Carlisle is at a critical juncture, needing to urgently address its subgroup performance gaps while leveraging its proven success with Special Education and Gifted students to create a more equitable instructional model for all.
