Summary

Scott Morgan Johnson Middle in McKinney, TX, serves 1,108 students in grades 6-8 within the McKinney Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas.

This school stands out for its exceptional Algebra I acceleration program, with a remarkable 98.14% of students passing the End-of-Course exam in 2025-2026—far exceeding the state average of 54.03% and outperforming nearby high-performing schools like Lorene Rogers Middle in Prosper Independent School District (Isd). However, this strength creates a "tale of two math scores": while advanced math thrives, only 27.2% of 8th graders were proficient in grade-level math, well below the state average of 47.24% and the lowest among all McKinney ISD middle schools. This suggests resources may be heavily focused on the accelerated track, leaving the general math curriculum in need of support. Reading scores are a consistent strength across all grades, outperforming state averages and often matching district benchmarks.

Within McKinney ISD, Scott Morgan Johnson sits in the middle of the pack, comparable to Faubion Middle (84th percentile) and ahead of Leonard Evans Junior Middle (75th percentile), but behind Dowell Middle (87th percentile) and Dr Jack Cockrill Middle (90th percentile). The school has earned a 4-star rating from Schooldigger for five consecutive years, reflecting consistent above-average performance. While it doesn't match the top-tier 5-star schools in neighboring Frisco Independent School District (Isd) or Prosper ISD, it provides a stable, solid education with a notable strength in advanced math and reading, making it a reliable choice for families in the area.

Open Quote This school is racist, sexist, and homophobic. My children learn nothing and get hurt mentally and physically from how much the students hurt each other. The classes are boring, un-engaging, there are students bashing skulls in the parking lot. Close Quote
