Summary

Founders Classical Academy - Frisco is a K-12 alternative public charter school in Frisco, TX, serving 1,013 students as part of the Texas College Preparatory Academies district. This school stands out for its exceptional elementary performance, particularly in 4th Grade Mathematics, where 91.14% of students were proficient in 2024-2025—a remarkable 52-point lead over the district average and 42 points above the state. The school also excels in English Language Arts across all grade levels, with 6th Grade Reading proficiency at 76.09% compared to the state's 53.04%, and high school English II Reading reaching 92.73% versus the state's 59.88%. Additionally, Biology and Social Studies scores are strong, with 92.68% proficiency in Biology, indicating a well-rounded curriculum.

However, the school faces a significant challenge in secondary mathematics. While elementary math is a standout strength, 8th Grade Mathematics proficiency plummeted to just 8.33% in 2024-2025, far below the district's 37.32% and the state's 44.81%. This is a dramatic drop from 77.89% the previous year. Similarly, Algebra I End of Course proficiency was only 24.05%, compared to 54.03% statewide. This pattern suggests a systemic issue in the middle-to-high school math transition. For context, nearby Imagine International Academy of North Texas posted 90.48% proficiency in 8th Grade Math, highlighting that Founders is not the top-performing charter in the area for upper grades. The school's dropout rate has also risen from 0.0% in 2019-2020 to 2.6% in 2023-2024, now above the district average of 1.5%.

Compared to its sister school, Founders Classical Academy of Prosper, the Frisco campus outperforms in elementary grades, especially in 4th Grade Math (91.14% vs. 46.3%), but Prosper shows stronger middle school math results. The school's spending per student ($7,596) is notably lower than many nearby traditional public school districts. While Founders Classical Academy - Frisco provides an excellent elementary foundation with strong reading and math scores, parents should be aware of the notable weakness in secondary mathematics and investigate how the school supports students through this transition.
