Summary

Stinson Elementary in Richardson, TX, is a K-5 school serving 463 students as part of the highly-rated Plano Independent School District (Isd). After a decade of elite performance, the school has experienced a sudden and severe decline, dropping from the 96th percentile (5 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026—a 34-percentile-point drop that is not mirrored by nearby schools in the same district.

This recent collapse is school-specific, not a district-wide issue. For comparison, nearby Boggess Elementary, also in Plano ISD and similar in size and demographics, remained a high-performing school (91st percentile, 5 stars) during the same period. Stinson now underperforms the district average in nearly every subject and grade level. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency dropped to 38.38% compared to the district's 55.82%, and 5th-grade reading fell to 62.2% versus the district's 67.52%. The decline has broadly impacted all student groups, with the most critical drops seen among English Language Learners (from the 94th to the 20th percentile) and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (from the 96th to the 30th percentile).

The cause of this rapid decline is unclear but appears to be an acute challenge that emerged between the 2023-2024 and 2025-2026 school years—not a lingering effect of the pandemic, as Stinson's performance remained exceptionally high through 2023-2024. While the school's per-student spending ($9,067) is moderate compared to neighbors, it is still outperforming many schools that face greater economic challenges and spend more per pupil, such as Forman Elementary ($13,220/student) and Big Springs Elementary ($12,663/student). The most urgent question for stakeholders is to identify the root cause of this sudden shift.
