Summary:
This analysis examines nine elementary schools in zip code 75068, serving grades PK-5 in the communities of Little Elm and Oak Point, Texas, across the Little Elm Independent School District (Isd), Frisco Independent School District (Isd), Denton Independent School District (Isd), and the charter North Texas Collegiate Academy.
The standout schools are Robertson Elementary and Miller Elementary, both part of Frisco ISD, ranking in the top 13% of Texas elementary schools with strong STAAR scores and low student poverty rates. In contrast, Dorothy Martinez Elementary (Denton ISD) ranks in the 7th percentile, while Catherine Bell Elementary (Denton ISD) and Cesar Chavez Elementary (Little Elm ISD) also struggle in the bottom quartile. Oak Point Elementary (Little Elm ISD) performs in the 58th percentile, and the charter North Texas Collegiate Academy-East Campus sits in the middle at the 48th percentile. Lakeview Elementary and D H Brent Elementary (both Little Elm ISD) rank in the 41st and 32nd percentiles, respectively.
A key takeaway is that district affiliation is the strongest predictor of success, with Frisco ISD schools far outperforming others despite lower spending per student. The two highest-spending schools, Lakeview and Cesar Chavez, are among the lowest-performing, while the top-performing Robertson and Miller spend the least, indicating that spending efficiency matters more than total dollars. Enrollment varies widely from 313 students at North Texas Collegiate Academy to 998 at Oak Point Elementary, and student-teacher ratios are generally consistent except for the charter school's higher ratio of 19.3:1. This zip code illustrates a clear educational divide, where a family's address within Frisco ISD versus neighboring districts can mean access to top-tier schools versus those in the bottom quarter of the state.
