Summary

Phillips Elementary in Frisco, TX, is a PK-5 school serving 607 students as part of the highly-regarded Frisco Independent School District (Isd), consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 89th percentile statewide. This school stands out for its exceptional support for Gifted and Talented (GT) students, who ranked in the 98th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, placing them among the top in Texas. However, it faces a significant challenge in serving students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 44th percentile, highlighting an equity gap that the school is working to address.

Academically, Phillips Elementary shows a distinctive "V-shaped" performance in math, where 3rd-grade proficiency (50.55%) lags behind the district average, but dramatically improves in 4th grade (71.59%) and soars in 5th grade (82.08%), well above the district average. This pattern is unique among nearby schools like Pink Elementary, which maintains consistent high performance across all grades. Reading scores are a consistent strength, often matching or exceeding district averages, but they do not differentiate the school from its high-achieving peers in the area. The school's math recovery in upper grades suggests a targeted strategy that is paying off, making it a solid choice for families seeking strong academic growth.

Compared to neighboring schools, Phillips Elementary is a "middle performer" in a cluster of exceptionally high-achieving schools, such as Minett Elementary and Newman Elementary, which both hold 5-star ratings. Despite lower per-student spending ($8,199) than some peers like Purefoy Elementary ($10,466), Phillips achieves strong overall results, indicating efficient resource use. Its moderate economic diversity (22.4% free/reduced lunch) contrasts with nearby schools like Minett (6.1%), and the school's primary challenge is closing the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students, an area where it lags behind its own overall success and that of its high-performing neighbors.
