Summary

Stafford Middle in Frisco, TX, is a high-performing school serving 946 students in grades 6-8, part of the top-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd) and consistently ranking in the top 10% of Texas middle schools.

Stafford excels in many areas, particularly with its advanced math program—over 90% of students taking Algebra I passed the End-of-Course exam, far exceeding district and state averages. The school also shows strong support for special education students and English language learners, with recent rankings in the 94th and 92nd percentiles, respectively. However, grade-level math proficiency is a notable challenge. For example, only about 36% of 8th graders met grade-level math standards, which is significantly lower than nearby Pearson Middle (59%) and Pioneer Heritage Middle (69%). This "math paradox" suggests that while the school accelerates top students effectively, the standard math curriculum may need improvement for the majority of learners.

Compared to other Frisco ISD schools like Cobb Middle and Griffin Middle, Stafford's overall performance is strong but shows a slight decline from its past top-100 state rankings. The school also faces an achievement gap for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the 49th percentile—a stark contrast to the school's overall 91st percentile ranking. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 14.5:1 and per-student spending in line with its high-performing peers, Stafford remains an excellent choice for families, though parents should be aware of the math proficiency gap and the school's ongoing efforts to support all students equitably.
