Summary

Prestwick Elementary in The Colony, TX, is a PK-5 school within the Little Elm Independent School District (Isd) that serves 451 students and stands out as a high-performing academic leader in its area, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 84th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

What truly sets Prestwick apart is its exceptional academic performance compared to nearby schools. It dramatically outperforms its closest district peer, Hackberry Elementary, which ranks in the 36th percentile—a difference of 48 percentile points. In fact, Prestwick’s test scores are often closer to elite Frisco Independent School District (Isd) schools like Nichols Elementary (99th percentile) and Bledsoe Elementary (93rd percentile) than to other schools in The Colony. For example, Prestwick’s 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 63.24% far exceeds Hackberry Elementary’s 33.71% and is competitive with Frisco ISD schools. This makes Prestwick a unique "bridge" school, offering high performance in a district with a much lower overall ranking.

While Prestwick excels overall, there are a few nuances for parents to consider. The school shows a slight dip in 5th-grade reading proficiency (60.34%), which falls below the state average and is lower than its 3rd and 4th-grade reading scores. Additionally, the school’s performance with its White student subgroup ranks in the 51st percentile, which is notably lower than other subgroups like Hispanic (82nd) and African American (80th) students. This suggests Prestwick is particularly effective at supporting a diverse student body but may need to focus more on challenging all learners equally. Overall, Prestwick is a strong, high-performing school that offers a standout option for families in The Colony.
