Best Public Schools in Zip Code 75013

The zip code 75013 in Allen, Texas, is home to nine high-performing schools, primarily elementary schools (K-6) and one middle school (Ereckson Middle), serving a relatively affluent community with an average free/reduced lunch rate of 14.6%.

This area is dominated by the top-rated Allen Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide. All eight Allen ISD schools are exceptional, with seven ranking in the top 10% of Texas schools. The standout academic performer is Mary Evans Elementary, which consistently ranks in the 98th percentile and boasts the highest test scores in the zip code, despite having the lowest per-student spending ($8,469). Ereckson Middle is a powerhouse, particularly in advanced math, where a staggering 98.28% of 8th graders scored proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding the state average of 54.03%. A fascinating anomaly is Beverly Elementary, the only school in the zip code from the Plano Independent School District (Isd). Despite its district ranking lower (79th percentile), Beverly Elementary itself is a top-100 school in Texas (98th percentile), outperforming most of its Allen ISD neighbors and demonstrating that local leadership can drive exceptional results independent of district averages.

While all schools are strong, the data reveals a clear performance gap linked to socioeconomic factors. Flossie Floyd Green Elementary has the highest rate of economic disadvantage (22.24% free/reduced lunch) and the lowest test scores and state ranking (77th percentile). In contrast, schools with the lowest economic disadvantage rates, like Jenny Preston Elementary (9.37%) and Mary Evans (9.98%), are among the highest-performing. Interestingly, higher spending does not guarantee success; the highest-spending school, Beverly Elementary ($11,523), is a top performer, but the highest-ranked school, Mary Evans, spends the least. For families in 75013, the choice is between two excellent districts, each offering a different high school pathway, with the assurance that nearly every school in the area provides a top-tier education.
