Summary:
The 75009 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Celina Independent School District (ISD) and Prosper Independent School District (ISD). While the schools in the area generally perform well, there are a few standout institutions that deserve recognition.
Light Farms Elementary (Prosper ISD) is a top-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 500 elementary schools in Texas and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrate strong proficiency in reading and math, often exceeding state and district averages. Similarly, Jerry & Linda Moore Middle (Celina ISD) is a high-performing middle school, ranking in the top 500 in Texas, with impressive proficiency rates in Algebra I. At the high school level, Celina High School stands out with an exceptional 99.5% 4-year graduation rate and a very low 0.1% dropout rate.
While the schools in the Prosper ISD generally outperform their Celina ISD counterparts on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading and math, the data also reveals some interesting differences in student demographics and spending. The Prosper ISD schools have significantly lower free/reduced lunch rates, which is often correlated with higher academic achievement. Additionally, the spending per student varies, ranging from $8,156 at Light Farms Elementary to $11,411 at the Early Childhood School. These factors may contribute to the observed performance disparities between the two districts.
