Summary:
In zip code 75252, there is one middle school, Frankford Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 839 students as part of the highly-rated Plano Independent School District (Isd).
Frankford Middle presents a mixed picture of performance. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 and spends $8,867 per student, but it holds a 2-star state rating, ranking in the 37th-41st percentile statewide. A standout strength is its Algebra I End-of-Course exam, where 94.92% of students are proficient, dramatically outperforming the district (59.54%) and state (54.03%). However, this success contrasts sharply with other areas: 8th-grade Social Studies proficiency is just 28%, and 7th-grade Math proficiency is alarmingly low at 7.27%. The school also has a high dropout rate of 2.0% for a middle school, compared to the district's 0.8%, and 53.28% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Key takeaways for parents include a significant performance gap between Frankford Middle and its district averages in most subjects, suggesting it serves a more challenging population. The Algebra I anomaly indicates strong acceleration for some students, while the majority struggle in standard math. Reading scores show some improvement over recent years, but math and social studies remain critical weaknesses requiring urgent attention. Overall, the school offers a strong district foundation but has notable areas of concern that families should investigate further.
