Best High Schools in Zip Code 75034

This analysis examines six high schools in the 75034 zip code of Frisco, Texas, serving grades 9-12 (with one charter school also serving grades 5-8), and reveals a high-performing area anchored by the top-ranked Wakeland High School and Reedy High School, both earning 5-star ratings and ranking in the 95th percentile statewide. These two schools, part of the Frisco Independent School District (Isd), lead the area with exceptional test scores—Reedy achieves over 90% proficiency in Biology, English I, and English II—and boast the lowest free/reduced lunch rates (around 5.5%). In contrast, Frisco High School is the lowest-ranked district school at the 76th percentile, with a 95.1% graduation rate and notably lower proficiency in Algebra I (27.73%) and English II (68.88%), while also having the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 22.07%.

Key metrics show strong overall performance, with all schools maintaining graduation rates above 95% and dropout rates below 0.5%. However, a universal struggle with Algebra I stands out: every Frisco Independent School District (Isd) school scored below the district average of 76.16% in Algebra I proficiency, with only Wakeland (57.28%) and Panther Creek High School (54.36%) meeting the state average. Student-teacher ratios vary from 13.7 at Panther Creek to 23.8 at the charter school, Leadership Prep School Secondary, which operates under the Leadership Prep School district and spends significantly less per student ($6,096) compared to the district average.

An interesting finding is that higher spending does not guarantee better results: Frisco High School spends the most per student ($10,083) yet has the lowest academic outcomes, while top performers Wakeland and Reedy spend less ($8,865 and $8,706, respectively). Additionally, Leadership Prep School Secondary shows a distinct profile with competitive high school science and English scores but very low math proficiency, including a sharp decline from 6th to 8th grade. For parents, this data highlights that Wakeland High School and Reedy High School are the standout choices for academic excellence, while Frisco High School may require additional support, particularly in math and English.
