Coppell Independent School District (Isd)

The Coppell Independent School District (Isd) is a top-tier, 5-star district in Texas, ranking 17th out of 951 districts, and serves 16 schools (11 elementary, 3 middle, and 2 high schools) with consistently high performance across the board.

For parents, the standout schools are clear. At the high school level, New Technical H S At Coppell is an academic powerhouse, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate and near-perfect test scores in Biology, English, and History, despite being the smallest high school with only 321 students. In contrast, the much larger Coppell High School shows a relative weakness in Algebra I (60% proficient vs. the district average of 80%). Among middle schools, Coppell Middle West leads the district, ranking 41st in Texas and achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I, indicating a strong STEM pipeline. At the elementary level, Canyon Ranch Elementary is the highest-ranked, placing in the top 2% of the state, while Wilson Elementary showed the most improvement, jumping from the 83rd to the 93rd percentile in one year.

Key metrics reveal a district that excels in math and science, with district-wide Algebra I proficiency at 79.82% and Biology at 94.51%, far exceeding state averages. An interesting finding is the inverse relationship between spending and performance at the elementary level: schools with the highest per-student spending, like Austin Elementary ($11,156), tend to have lower rankings, while top performers like Canyon Ranch spend less ($7,568). This suggests higher spending is directed toward schools with greater student needs. Overall, while the district is uniformly excellent, parents should note the wider variance in elementary performance, which correlates with socioeconomic factors like free/reduced lunch percentages, and the exceptional results from the specialized New Tech High School model.
