Summary:
The 10 schools in zip code 75093 of Plano, Texas, serve grades PK-12 and are overwhelmingly part of the highly-rated Plano Independent School District (Isd), with one specialized charter school, Premier H S-Foundation School Of Autism-Plano, serving a very small, high-needs population.
Academic performance varies dramatically across the area. At the elementary level, Barksdale Elementary and Centennial Elementary are standout powerhouses, consistently ranking in the top 5-10% of Texas elementary schools with exceptional test scores. In contrast, Daffron Elementary has the highest poverty rate and lower academic performance, while Huffman Elementary has the highest per-student spending but below-average scores, showing that money alone doesn't guarantee success. At the secondary level, Renner Middle is a math star, with over 96% of its Algebra I students proficient, though its general 7th-grade math scores are very low. Plano West Senior High School presents a paradox: it has a high graduation rate and strong U.S. History scores, but its proficiency in core subjects like Algebra I and English I/II is in the low single digits, a critical point for parents to investigate.
Key metrics show total enrollment of 7,611 students, with an average student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1 across Plano ISD schools. The percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch averages 31.3%, ranging from 15.15% at Centennial Elementary to 50.99% at Daffron Elementary. Per-student spending varies from $8,008 at Renner Middle to $11,823 at Huffman Elementary. Overall, the data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, with a clear divide between high-performing, low-poverty elementary schools and those facing more challenges, all within the same high-performing district.
