Summary

Little Elm High School is a public high school in Little Elm, Texas, serving 2,529 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Little Elm Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools over the past five years and maintains a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance lags behind nearby high-performing schools in the Frisco Independent School District, such as Frisco High School, Wakeland High School, and Reedy High School. Little Elm High School's STAAR EOC proficiency rates are generally below the state and district averages, with the largest gaps in Algebra I and English I/II Reading. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate has declined from 93.3% in 2020-2021 to 88.8% in 2022-2023, which is concerning.

The school faces challenges in serving a diverse student population, with nearly half of the students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes, particularly for English Language Learners and Special Education students, who are underperforming compared to their peers across the state.

The changes being made in LEHS are wonderful! The Career and Technical classes they offer have given all my kids the opportunities they need to succeed as adults. The teachers have been extremely helpful and I couldn't have asked for more dedication than what they gave my kids. THANK YOU LEHS! Close Quote
