Summary

Lizzie Nell Cundiff McClure Elementary is a K-5 school in the McKinney Independent School District (Isd) serving 661 students, and it is a solidly good school in a highly competitive neighborhood of top-performing schools.

McClure Elementary consistently earns 4-star ratings and ranks in the 77th percentile statewide, which is above average for Texas. However, it is surrounded by several higher-ranked peers, including Earl & Lottie Wolford Elementary (94th percentile), C T Eddins Elementary (91st), and Roy Lee Walker Elementary (90th). The school’s greatest strength is its exceptional support for English Language Learners, ranking in the 83rd percentile for that subgroup. In contrast, its most significant challenge is a dramatic decline in serving students from low-income backgrounds, dropping from the 59th percentile to the 9th percentile in just one year. This is a key area of concern that sets it apart from its higher-performing neighbors.

Academically, McClure shines in 5th-grade reading, with 73.81% of students proficient, far exceeding the district (64.15%) and state (58.47%) averages. Math performance is more mixed, with 4th-grade math proficiency (52.59%) only slightly above the state average. The school operates with a higher student-teacher ratio (16.1) and lower spending per student ($9,476) than many nearby schools, such as Wolford (13:1 ratio, $11,640 spent), yet still achieves strong overall results. For parents, McClure is a very good school with a notable strength in literacy and language support, but it faces a critical need to improve outcomes for its economically disadvantaged students, especially when compared to top-tier options in the area.
