Summary

Dean And Mildred Bennett Elementary is a K-5 school in McKinney, TX, serving 425 students within the McKinney Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas. While historically a top-tier school, Bennett has seen a dip from its peak years, now ranking in the 87th percentile statewide, and faces increasing competition from nearby schools.

Bennett’s greatest strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 99th percentile statewide—a standout achievement unmatched by any nearby school. However, the school shows a significant and widening performance gap between female and male students, with girls ranking in the 92nd percentile and boys in the 81st percentile. Additionally, support for low-income students has been inconsistent, swinging from a 44th percentile ranking to the 90th and back to the 68th percentile in recent years. A surprising weakness is its Gifted and Talented program, which ranked in only the 48th percentile, suggesting a need for more challenging enrichment for high-achieving students.

Bennett’s closest rival, Earl & Lottie Wolford Elementary, just 0.84 miles away, has surpassed it for three consecutive years and is now a 5-star school. Wolford excels in 5th-grade Math (77.92% proficient vs. Bennett’s 60.61%) and Science (62.5% vs. 51.35%). While Bennett’s 3rd and 4th-grade scores are strong, its 5th-grade performance lags behind the district average. Nearby Comstock Elementary in the Frisco Independent School District (Isd) also outpaces Bennett, ranking in the 95th percentile with consistent high performance across all grades. Bennett remains a solid choice, but parents should weigh its world-class ELL support against its recent volatility and the rising performance of its neighbors.
