Bledsoe Elementary

Bledsoe Elementary is a high-performing PK-5 school in Frisco, TX, serving 663 students as part of the highly-ranked Frisco Independent School District (Isd). The school has a strong track record, consistently earning 4 or 5 stars over the past decade, and serves a relatively affluent population with a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Bledsoe's standout strength is its consistent excellence in Reading, with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade significantly outperforming district and state averages. However, the school shows a notable and persistent weakness in Mathematics, with scores often falling below the district average across multiple grade levels for several years. This "math gap" is a key differentiator from top-performing neighbors like Nichols Elementary (just 0.72 miles away), which excels in both subjects and ranks in the top 1% statewide. In contrast, Bledsoe significantly outperforms Corbell Elementary (2.27 miles away), which has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Bledsoe shows mixed results for different student groups. It is exceptionally effective with its Special Education and English Language Learner students, ranking in the 89th and 87th percentiles respectively. However, the school's effectiveness with its low socio-economic status students has declined sharply, dropping from the 66th to the 40th percentile in recent years. Additionally, performance with Asian and African American students, while still above average, has seen a decline from 4-star to 3-star ratings. This suggests that while Bledsoe maintains strong overall results, equity gaps for some groups are widening, and the math curriculum may need attention to match the school's reading success.
