Leadership Prep School

The Leadership Prep School district in Frisco, TX, serves 1,391 students across two schools: Leadership Prep School (elementary, grades K-4) and Leadership Prep School Secondary (grades 5-12). The district ranks in the top 12% of Texas districts, earning a 4-star rating, and is known for strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance and a near-perfect graduation rate.

Leadership Prep School Secondary is the standout school, boasting a 98.8% graduation rate and exceptional ELA scores—English II proficiency (82.61%) far exceeds the state average (59.88%). However, it faces a significant "math problem": only 22.73% of 8th graders are proficient in math, less than half the state average, and Algebra I proficiency (48.55%) also lags behind. In contrast, Leadership Prep School elementary provides a strong foundation, with 5th-grade math proficiency (62.16%) well above the state average (47.38%). The transition from 5th to 6th grade is a critical point, as math proficiency drops 17 percentage points, suggesting the shift to secondary school is a challenge.

Science and social studies are relative strengths at the secondary level, with Biology (82.76%) and U.S. History (79.75%) outperforming state averages. The elementary school has a solid 4-star rating but has seen a slight decline in its state ranking over three years. Notably, the district achieves strong results with relatively low per-student spending ($6,096-$6,927), indicating efficient resource use, though the math scores highlight a clear area needing improvement. Overall, families can expect excellent ELA and graduation outcomes at the secondary school, but should be aware of the math challenges, especially during the middle school transition.
