Summary

Liscano Elementary in Frisco, TX, is a high-performing K-5 school within the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), serving 654 students in a predominantly affluent community where only about 3.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Liscano consistently ranks in the top 4% of all Texas elementary schools, with a peak performance in the 2023-2024 school year when it ranked 52nd out of over 4,700 schools. However, its ranking has slipped slightly to 169th in the most recent year, while nearby schools like McSpedden Elementary (ranked 36th) and Norris Elementary (ranked 115th) have surpassed it. A standout strength is Liscano's exceptional performance with English Language Learners, ranking in the 94th percentile for this subgroup. The school is also a model of efficiency, spending just $7,710 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—while achieving results far higher than schools that spend thousands more, such as Tadlock Elementary ($9,343 per student, ranked 1,148th).

Despite its overall excellence, Liscano faces notable challenges. Its performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds has dropped dramatically, from the 90th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 2nd percentile in the most recent year. Additionally, while reading and math scores are consistently strong, 5th grade science proficiency (69.84%) is a relative weakness compared to other subjects. The school is located in a cluster of schools with vastly different outcomes; for example, Sonntag Elementary, just 1.43 miles away, has a much higher poverty rate and ranks in the 75th percentile. This contrast highlights how school performance can vary dramatically within the same high-performing district.
