Summary:
Zip code 75033 in Frisco, Texas, is served by five highly-rated public schools within the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), a 5-star district ranked in the 96th percentile statewide, offering education from elementary through high school in an affluent, well-resourced community.
Newman Elementary stands out as the academic powerhouse, consistently ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools with exceptional test scores, while Phillips Elementary is the lowest-ranked school in the area but still a strong 4-star institution. Minett Elementary shows particular strength in science, though all three elementary schools fall below the district average in 5th-grade science. Trent Middle is a consistent high-achiever, notably with 100% of its 8th-grade students proficient in Algebra I, far exceeding district and state averages. Memorial High School is a solid performer with a 97.7% graduation rate and strong results in Biology, English, and U.S. History, but it faces a critical challenge with only 39.9% of students proficient in Algebra I, creating a stark 60-point gap from the middle school's performance.
The most significant finding is the "Algebra I cliff" between Trent Middle and Memorial High, suggesting a major curriculum or support disconnect in the transition to 9th grade. Additionally, spending does not correlate with performance—Newman Elementary has the lowest spending per student ($7,399) but the highest ranking, while Phillips Elementary has the highest spending ($8,199) but the lowest ranking. With an average free/reduced lunch rate of just 12.7% and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, this community provides a strong educational foundation, making the high school's math weakness a notable outlier that the district should investigate.
