Summary

Little Elm High School is a large public high school in Little Elm, TX, serving 2,519 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Little Elm Independent School District (Isd). The school has a 2-star rating, placing it in the 42nd percentile of Texas high schools, and has seen a downward trend in its state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 66th percentile a decade ago. While the school maintains a strong graduation rate of 94.2%, its academic proficiency on state assessments is notably lower, with only 28.57% of students proficient in Algebra I and 47.94% in English I Reading, suggesting a gap between moving students to graduation and ensuring college or career readiness.

One of the most striking features of Little Elm High School is its performance compared to nearby schools in the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), which is a 5-star district. For example, Reedy High School and Wakeland High School both rank in the 95th percentile and have proficiency rates above 90% in English I Reading and Biology, while Little Elm scores well below the state average in these subjects. The school is more comparable to others in similarly ranked districts, such as The Colony High School (38th percentile) and Ray Braswell High School (42nd percentile). Additionally, Little Elm has a higher student-teacher ratio (15.9:1) than many nearby schools, including The Colony (12.4:1) and Memorial High School (13.2:1), which may affect individual attention.

A consistent bright spot for Little Elm is U.S. History, where the school has outperformed the state average for four consecutive years, with 75.88% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the state average of 70.17%. However, the school shows significant volatility in subgroup performance, with low socioeconomic status students ranking in the 24th percentile in 2025-2026, a sharp drop from the 55th percentile the prior year. This inconsistency suggests that while the school has the capacity to support diverse learners, it lacks the systemic stability to maintain high performance. The school's per-student spending ($9,326) is in the middle of the pack compared to neighbors, indicating that the performance gap is likely influenced by a combination of socioeconomic factors and instructional strategies rather than funding alone.

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
