Summary

Walnut Grove High School in Prosper, TX, serves 2,268 students in grades 9-12 and is a top-performing school within the highly-ranked Prosper Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 96th percentile statewide. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for three consecutive years, with a state ranking that has improved to 165th out of all Texas high schools, placing it in the top 8-9%. Walnut Grove boasts an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.1% and test scores that significantly exceed state averages across core subjects, particularly in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates in English I and II Reading reach over 87%—far above the state average of about 55-60%.

Walnut Grove stands out among its same-district peers, outperforming both Prosper High School (ranked 242nd, 4 stars) and Rock Hill High School (ranked 207th, 4 stars) in overall state ranking and English proficiency. The school also offers a lower student-to-teacher ratio of 14.1:1, compared to Prosper High School’s 16:1, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, a notable anomaly is Algebra I performance, where Walnut Grove’s proficiency rate is just 31.85%—roughly half the district average of 68.61% and well below the state average of 54.03%. This pattern is consistent across all three Prosper ISD high schools, suggesting a district-wide curriculum or assessment challenge rather than a school-specific issue.

While Walnut Grove is a top-tier school, it is not the highest-performing in the immediate area. Nearby schools like Independence High School (ranked 36th) and Liberty High School (ranked 109th) in the Frisco Independent School District (Isd) achieve higher state rankings and significantly higher test scores, including Algebra I proficiency rates of 73% or more. Despite this, Walnut Grove’s consistent year-over-year improvement in state ranking and its strong performance for all student groups—including Hispanic and African American students, who rank in the top 10% and 14% statewide, respectively—demonstrate a school that is actively refining its practices and providing equitable opportunities for a diverse student body.
