Summary:
The 75025 zip code in Plano, Texas, is home to 12 schools serving elementary and middle grades, split between the Frisco Independent School District (Isd) and the Plano Independent School District (Isd), with no high schools in the area.
This zip code presents a clear contrast in school performance. The three Frisco ISD schools—Fowler Middle, Anderson Elementary, and Taylor Elementary—are uniformly excellent, all earning 5-star ratings and rankings in the 95th percentile or higher statewide. In contrast, the nine Plano ISD schools show a wide range, from top-tier performers like Skaggs Elementary and Wyatt Elementary (both ranked in the 98th percentile) to struggling schools like Rasor Elementary, which ranks in the 18th percentile. Hendrick Middle is a notable anomaly within Plano ISD, performing far below its district peers despite being in the same system as high-achieving schools.
Key metrics highlight these disparities. The average free/reduced lunch rate across all schools is 18.6%, but it ranges from just 6.41% at Fowler Middle to 62.39% at Rasor Elementary. Spending per student also varies, with Bethany Elementary spending the most ($12,422) yet ranking lower than Skaggs Elementary, which spends $11,790. This shows that higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes. For parents, the choice often comes down to district: Frisco ISD offers consistent, top-tier performance, while Plano ISD provides both some of the state's best schools and others that face significant challenges, making school-by-school research essential.
