Here is the short answer. In the 2026 TEA ratings released August 14, 2026, Frisco ISD earned an A with a score of 91. Of its 76 campuses, 51 earned an A, 23 earned a B, one earned a C, and one was not rated. The highest-scoring campuses in TEA's spreadsheet include Independence High School (97), Lawler Middle School (98), and three elementary schools tied at 95: Nichols, McSpedden, and Talley. But a rating only matters if the home you buy is actually zoned for that school, and that's the part buyers skip.
These come straight from TEA's 2026 statewide ratings spreadsheet. TEA scores campuses from 0 to 100, and 90 or above is an A.
Every other rated Frisco ISD high school earned a B, with scores from 86 to 89.
A few points of score don't mean much on their own. A 93 and a 95 are both solid A ratings. Look at the trend over a few years and the parts of the score that matter to your family before reading too much into a single number.
No. The City of Frisco says four school districts serve its residents: Frisco ISD, Lewisville ISD, Little Elm ISD, and Prosper ISD. Their 2026 district ratings from TEA:
Say you find a house with a Frisco address and assume it's in Frisco ISD. It might not be. The city line and the school district line are two different things. A district rating is also an average across every campus, so the specific campus you're zoned to matters more than the district grade.
Yes. TEA's August 2026 ratings went out alongside an appeals window that closed September 11, 2026. TEA's own timeline lists December 11, 2026 as the release date for final 2026 ratings, so a campus could move if a district's appeal is granted.
It's also worth knowing ratings haven't always come out on schedule. TEA says the 2025 release followed "two years of lawsuit-induced delays," and the 2024 ratings were only made public after the legal proceedings ended. The 2026 ratings came out on time.
Use Frisco ISD's attendance zone lookup at friscoisd.org. The district calls its search a guide, and asks families whose address is near a boundary to contact the Zoning and Demographics department to verify. You can reach Frisco ISD at 469-633-6000.
Boundaries do change. Staley Middle School, for example, closed in summer 2026. A new school opening or an old one closing can shift your zone after you buy.
If the home is in Lewisville, Little Elm, or Prosper ISD, check with that district instead. And before you go under contract, get the zoning confirmed in writing or at least directly from the district, not from a listing or a third-party website.
If schools are a big part of your Frisco search, call or text Ben Jimenez at 469-730-6895. I'll help you check the district and campus zoning for any home you're serious about before you make an offer.
TEA combines student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps between student groups into one overall score from 0 to 100. The spreadsheet also breaks out each piece, so you can see which areas pulled a campus up or down.
TEA publishes ratings on TXschools.gov, where you can search by school or district. TEA also posts a statewide spreadsheet with multiple years of ratings for every campus.
Staley Middle School earned a C (75) in 2026 and closed in summer 2026, according to Community Impact. It was the only Frisco ISD campus rated below a B this year.
Yes. For high schools, TEA's Student Achievement score includes college, career, and military readiness and graduation rates alongside test results. That's one reason high school scores aren't directly comparable to elementary scores.
TEA's spreadsheet shows Frisco ISD at an A in 2026 with a 91, up one point from 90 in 2025. Community Impact reports it was the district's fifth consecutive A rating.
