Summary

Riddle Elementary in Plano, TX, is a high-performing K-5 school serving 661 students as part of the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 10% of all Texas elementary schools (94th percentile). This school stands out for its exceptional support of Special Education and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 94th and 93rd percentiles respectively, which is a notable strength compared to many nearby schools. However, Riddle faces a unique challenge: it is an elite school in a neighborhood of elite schools, ranking 4th in its immediate vicinity behind powerhouses like Borchardt Elementary (118th), Taylor Elementary (194th), and Plano ISD's Wyatt Elementary (75th) and Skaggs Elementary (73rd), all within a 2-mile radius.

One key differentiator is Riddle's efficiency: its per-student spending ($8,401) is significantly lower than many high-performing neighbors, such as Skaggs ($11,790) and Wyatt ($10,568), suggesting the school achieves top-tier results with a more streamlined budget. Yet, the school shows a notable performance gap in 5th Grade Science, where only 42.2% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, lagging behind the district average of 54.09%. Additionally, Riddle's performance for Hispanic students has seen a dramatic decline, dropping from the 77th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 19th percentile in 2024-2025, representing a critical equity challenge that requires immediate attention.

Riddle also exhibits interesting year-over-year dynamics, such as a shift in gender performance: in 2025-2026, male students ranked in the 96th percentile while female students ranked in the 92nd, a reversal from the previous year when both were at the 95th percentile. Grade-level performance is inconsistent, with 4th Grade Reading (86.73%) and Math (82.65%) exceptionally strong in 2025-2026, while 3rd Grade Math (72.63%) and 5th Grade Math (66.67%) were comparatively weaker. Overall, Riddle Elementary is a highly effective school with standout support for diverse learners, but it must address its science scores and the significant decline in performance for Hispanic students to maintain its competitive edge in a neighborhood of elite schools.
