Summary
Comstock Elementary in McKinney, TX, is a K-4 school serving 680 students as part of the highly-regarded Frisco Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years, placing it in the 95th percentile statewide. This consistent top-tier performance sets it apart from many nearby schools; for instance, Elliott Elementary (0.54 miles away) has dropped from the 89th to the 73rd percentile over the same period, while Ashley Elementary (1.63 miles away) fell from the 94th to the 85th percentile in just one year. Comstock’s math scores are a standout strength, with 78.23% of 4th graders proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outpacing the district average of 69.35% and the state average of 49.28%—a sharp contrast to Ashley Elementary, where only 52.22% of 4th graders were proficient.
The school also excels at supporting all students, ranking in the 95th percentile for Special Education students and the 88th percentile for English Language Learners, a level of inclusive success that many high-performing schools struggle to achieve. While Comstock is a top-tier school, it is not the absolute best in its immediate vicinity; Norris Elementary, also in Frisco ISD, consistently ranks in the 98th-99th percentile, with 83.96% of 4th graders proficient in math compared to Comstock’s 78.23%. Interestingly, Comstock’s performance dramatically outpaces its immediate geographic neighbors in McKinney Independent School District (Isd), such as Reuben Johnson Elementary (62nd percentile) and Jesse McGowen Elementary (52nd percentile), highlighting a stark contrast in academic achievement within a small geographic area.
Despite its overall excellence, there is a notable dip in 3rd-grade reading proficiency, with only 65.56% of students proficient in the 2023-2024 school year, below the district average of 71.87%, though this rebounded in subsequent years. Comstock also demonstrates efficient resource allocation, with per-student spending of $8,216 (2020-2021) lower than many peers, including lower-performing ones like Elliott Elementary ($9,508) and Earl & Lottie Wolford Elementary ($11,640), achieving top results with a modest budget. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 and a relatively affluent population (8.38% qualifying for free or reduced lunch), Comstock offers a stable, high-quality educational environment for families seeking consistent academic excellence.
