Summary:
The 75036 zip code area in Frisco, Texas is home to two exceptional middle schools - Pioneer Heritage Middle and Pearson Middle, both part of the highly-ranked Frisco Independent School District (ISD). These schools consistently perform at the top of the state, with Pioneer Heritage Middle ranking as high as 22nd in Texas and both maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, both schools significantly outperform the Frisco ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR/EOC assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Pioneer Heritage Middle had 86.55% of 8th graders proficient or better in STAAR Science, compared to 79.74% for Frisco ISD and 46.25% for Texas. Pearson Middle had an even more impressive 95.96% of students proficient or better in STAAR Algebra I EOC that same year, compared to 71.89% for Frisco ISD and 47.01% for Texas.
In terms of resources, the schools appear to be efficiently allocating funds, with Pioneer Heritage Middle spending $8,508 per student and Pearson Middle spending $8,965 per student in 2020-2021. Both schools also maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Pioneer Heritage at 15.8 and Pearson at 14.7. However, the schools serve a relatively affluent student population, with only 6.63% and 5.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, respectively. This raises questions about equity and access for students from lower-income backgrounds in the area.
