Summary:
There are three elementary schools serving Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in zip code 75474 (Quinlan, TX), which are split between two very different school districts: the Quinlan Independent School District (Isd) and the Boles Independent School District (Isd).
The standout school in the area is Boles Elementary, which is part of the higher-rated Boles ISD (3-star district). It has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio (12:1) and the highest per-student spending ($12,108), which correlates with its strong academic performance. For example, 57% of its 3rd graders were proficient in Reading and 63% in Math, both well above state averages. In contrast, the two schools in the Quinlan ISD (a 1-star district) struggle significantly. A E Butler Intermediate (grades 3-5) had every test score below the state average in 2024-2025, with only 23% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to the state's 45%. D C Cannon Elementary (grades PK-2) has no test scores available, but its high student-teacher ratio (17.8:1) and status as a feeder school to A E Butler suggest students may arrive in 3rd grade already behind.
The most important takeaway for parents is the stark "two-track" system within this single zip code. A child zoned for Boles Elementary enjoys a resource-rich environment with much higher academic outcomes, while a child zoned for the Quinlan ISD schools faces larger class sizes, lower spending, and consistently below-average test scores. The only bright spot for Quinlan ISD is that A E Butler's 5th-grade Science score (30%) matched the state average, though this is an outlier. Overall, the data shows that the school district a family is zoned for in 75474 has a massive impact on a child's educational experience and performance.
