Summary

Newman Elementary is a public elementary school located in Frisco, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 661 students. It is part of the Frisco Independent School District, which is ranked 31st out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newman Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools for the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, it ranked 159th out of 4,651 Texas elementary schools, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently outperform the state and district averages in STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates ranging from 81.19% to 92.16% in STAAR Reading and 75.25% to 84.47% in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the district's 73% to 81.74% and 66% to 73.7%, respectively, and the state's 52.02% to 57.83% and 44.88% to 46.24%.

Newman Elementary's performance is also exceptional across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, African American students, Hispanic students, and English Language Learners. The school ranks in the top 5-15% of Texas elementary schools in these subgroups. Additionally, Newman Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2.51% to 6.05% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state and district averages. This suggests that the school serves a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools, such as Carroll Elementary, Fisher Elementary, and Pink Elementary, which also perform well academically but do not match Newman Elementary's exceptional results.
