Summary

Lois Lindsey Elementary is a highly performing PK-6 school in McKinney, TX, serving 792 students as part of the top-ranked Allen Independent School District (Isd), which places in the 92nd percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for this group—a feat unmatched by nearby schools. It also excels in upper grades, with 6th-grade reading and math proficiency rates (86.67% and 81.9%) far exceeding district and state averages. However, Lois Lindsey has seen a slight overall dip to the 89th percentile in 2025-2026, its lowest in a decade, with 3rd-grade reading dropping from 80% to 58.95% over three years. Interestingly, the school underperforms with its White student population, ranking in the 59th percentile or lower for three years, while other subgroups thrive. Science scores are volatile, with 5th-grade proficiency falling to 34.51% in 2024-2025, below the district average of 46.57%.

Lois Lindsey sits in a competitive area with schools from three districts. Nearby Beverly Cheatham Elementary (Allen ISD) is a powerhouse, consistently ranking in the 97th-99th percentile, while Comstock Elementary (Frisco ISD) and Earl & Lottie Wolford Elementary (McKinney ISD) also rank in the 94th-96th percentile. In contrast, nearby McKinney ISD schools like Jesse McGowen Elementary and Reuben Johnson Elementary often rank in the bottom half, highlighting the impact of district resources. Despite its slight decline, Lois Lindsey remains a strong choice, especially for families valuing ELL support and upper-grade achievement.
