Summary
Lone Star High School in Frisco, TX, is a large, high-performing public high school within the highly-ranked Frisco Independent School District (Isd), serving 2,004 students in grades 9-12 and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school stands out as a reliable, strong option for families, offering an excellent education for most students, though it is not the absolute top performer in its competitive district. For example, while Lone Star significantly outperforms nearby schools like Little Elm High School and Ray Braswell High School (both 2-star schools), it is outpaced by the 5-star "powerhouses" of Reedy High School and Wakeland High School, which consistently rank in the top 5-6% of the state.
A key differentiator is Lone Star's exceptional work with Special Education students, who ranked in the 89th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, a remarkable strength. However, the school faces a notable weakness in Algebra I, where only 48.59% of students were proficient—below the state average and far below the district average of 76.16%. This suggests a potential systemic issue with how the subject is taught or how students are placed into the course. Additionally, the school has seen a troubling decline in performance for English Language Learners, dropping from the 89th percentile to the 42nd percentile in just one year, making this a critical area for improvement.
Despite these challenges, Lone Star maintains an almost perfect graduation rate of 99.5%, reflecting strong counseling and support systems that prioritize student persistence. The school also operates efficiently, spending $8,836 per student—less than several peers like Frisco High School ($10,083) and Memorial High School ($9,062)—while achieving better overall outcomes. For parents, Lone Star offers a solid, well-rounded education with a focus on student support, but those concerned about math or English Language Learner programs may want to investigate further.
