Reedy High School

Reedy High School in Frisco, TX, is a large, high-performing public school serving 2,201 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd).

Reedy consistently ranks among the top 5% of high schools in Texas, with exceptional graduation rates above 98.5% and near-zero dropout rates. The school excels in core academic subjects like Biology (95.7% proficiency), English I (92.19%), and U.S. History (92.93%), often leading nearby top-tier schools such as Centennial High School and Wakeland High School. However, a notable weakness is Algebra I, where only 49.76% of students are proficient—significantly below the district average of 76.16% and even lower than Lebanon Trail High School (74.1%). This persistent issue stands out against Reedy’s otherwise stellar academic profile. The school also provides outstanding support for Special Education students, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide, and achieves high outcomes despite lower per-student spending ($8,706) compared to peers like Frisco High School ($10,083).

Two critical challenges deserve attention. First, the Algebra I weakness has persisted for four years, suggesting a curriculum or timing issue rather than a general math problem. Second, English Language Learner (ELL) performance dropped dramatically from the 93rd percentile to the 44th percentile in the most recent data, a red flag that warrants investigation. Despite these issues, Reedy remains an elite, efficient school that delivers outstanding education for most students, outperforming many similarly affluent schools in the area.
