Summary

Talley Elementary in Frisco, TX, is a top-performing school serving 616 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-rated Frisco Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently ranks in the top 1% of all elementary schools in Texas, and for the 2024-2025 school year, it placed 14th out of 4,651 schools statewide. Talley’s test scores are exceptionally high across all subjects, with reading proficiency rates ranging from 90% to 94.81% and math proficiency from 86.96% to 91.61%, far exceeding both district and state averages. The school also shows a remarkable ability to support all student groups, earning 5-star ratings for its work with diverse learners, including English Language Learners and students in special education.

When compared to nearby schools, Talley stands out as an elite option. Its closest rival, McSpedden Elementary, ranks 24th in the state, making both schools top-tier choices in the same neighborhood. In contrast, Shawnee Trail Elementary, just 1.41 miles away, ranks in the 59th percentile, highlighting significant performance differences within the district. Talley also has a very low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch (4.22%), which is the lowest among its immediate peers, compared to schools like Curtsinger Elementary (12.36%) and Shawnee Trail (29.55%).

One interesting finding is that Talley’s performance with its White students is rated at only 3 stars, a notable contrast to its otherwise stellar ratings for other subgroups. Additionally, the school has shown a dramatic improvement with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, jumping from the 42nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 86th percentile in 2024-2025. However, there was a slight dip in performance for Gifted and Talented students, dropping from the 97th to the 82nd percentile in the most recent data. These insights suggest that while Talley is an academic powerhouse, there are areas for continued focus to ensure all students are challenged to their fullest potential.
