Summary

Tom Hicks Elementary in Frisco, TX, is a high-performing school serving 552 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Lewisville Independent School District (Isd). This school consistently ranks among the top 10% of elementary schools in Texas, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for five consecutive years. With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of about 13:1 and a low free/reduced lunch rate of 8%, Tom Hicks stands out for its exceptional academic performance across all grades and subjects, outperforming both district and state averages in reading and math.

What truly differentiates Tom Hicks is its remarkable consistency and ability to close achievement gaps. While nearby schools in the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), like Nichols Elementary (a 99th percentile powerhouse), are also excellent, Tom Hicks maintains a stable 91st-94th percentile ranking. In contrast, its Lewisville ISD neighbors such as Morningside Elementary and Peters Colony Elementary rank significantly lower, in the 24th-72nd percentile. Tom Hicks also demonstrates strong performance for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the 96th and 94th-95th percentiles respectively, showing the school is highly effective for diverse student populations.

However, there are areas for attention. Math proficiency, while still well above state averages, is slightly lower than reading, and the school's effectiveness for English Language Learners has declined from the 93rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026. Notably, Tom Hicks achieves its top-tier results with efficient spending of about $8,955 per student, far less than lower-performing Lewisville ISD schools like B B Owen Elementary ($14,560) but comparable to high-performing Frisco ISD schools. This efficiency, combined with its consistent excellence, makes Tom Hicks a standout choice for families seeking a strong academic foundation in the Frisco area.
