Summary

Norris Elementary is a K-5 school in Frisco, TX, serving 606 students as part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd). This school is an academic powerhouse, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 98th percentile statewide, placing it among the top tier of Texas elementary schools. Its most striking feature is exceptional mathematics performance, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points above the district average—for example, 93.52% of 3rd graders were proficient in math in 2023-2024, compared to 66.3% for the district. This excellence extends across all grades and subjects, with reading proficiency ranging from 75% to 87.39% in the most recent data, indicating a strong, vertically-aligned curriculum.

Compared to nearby schools, Norris stands out even in a cluster of high-performing peers. While McSpedden Elementary (ranked 36th) and Liscano Elementary (169th) are also top-tier, Norris consistently outranks others like Mooneyham Elementary (380th) and Gunstream Elementary (256th). Interestingly, Norris achieves these elite results with relatively lower per-student spending ($7,817 in 2020-2021) compared to neighbors like Sonntag Elementary, which spent $10,593 per student but has significantly lower test scores. This suggests a highly efficient educational model that maximizes outcomes without requiring the highest funding levels.

One area for potential focus is science, where Norris's 5th-grade proficiency (71.76% in 2024-2025) is strong but less dominant compared to its massive gaps in math and reading. The school also shows outstanding performance with specific student groups, ranking 6th in the state for African American students in 2024-2025 and 14th for low socio-economic status students in 2023-2024, demonstrating effective instruction for all learners. Overall, Norris Elementary offers a rigorous, consistent academic environment that prepares students exceptionally well, making it a standout choice within the competitive Frisco area.
