Schools in Frisco
Frisco ISD earned a 91 (an 'A' rating) in the state's 2025-26 TEA A-F accountability ratings, its fifth consecutive year retaining an A, and remains the largest A-rated school district in Texas -- a genuinely strong, sourced credential. What's equally real and worth knowing: the district is simultaneously navigating its first enrollment decline in its history after more than a decade of continuous growth, a structural shift that is already changing how the district plans facilities.

Frisco ISD earned a 91 in the Texas Education Agency's 2025-26 A-F accountability ratings, a one-point increase over the previous year and its fifth straight year holding an overall 'A.' The district is repeatedly described in 2026 coverage (Community Impact, Local Profile) as the largest A-rated school district in the state of Texas -- a genuinely rare combination of scale and top-tier state accountability performance, not just a small-district credential. The TEA's A-F system evaluates districts across three components: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps.
A District Managing Its First Enrollment Decline, Not Continued Growth
Frisco ISD grew for well over a decade, reaching a peak enrollment of roughly 67,000 students around 2023; district enrollment is now cited at just over 60,000 students in 2026 coverage -- a real, documented decline, not a growth plateau. The district's response reflects that shift directly: Staley Middle School is closing (a consolidation, not a new-campus opening), and the district's $691 million 2023 bond is expected to be fully expended by 2027, with a new superintendent indicating in 2026 that the district plans to pursue another, presumably needs-based rather than growth-based, bond in the next 12-18 months. Anyone choosing a Frisco ISD campus for a specific address should confirm current attendance-zone boundaries directly, since they can shift as the district manages this new phase.
Frisco Spans More Than One School District
As with most large, irregularly bordered Texas cities, Frisco's city limits are not served exclusively by Frisco ISD -- portions of the city fall within Little Elm ISD, Lewisville ISD, Prosper ISD, and Plano ISD depending on the specific address, each with its own separate TEA accountability rating, separate from Frisco ISD's figures above. Confirm the actual assigned district (and specific campus) for any address via the Texas Education Agency's TXschools.gov database before relying on a Frisco ISD-specific statistic, since a Frisco mailing address does not guarantee Frisco ISD enrollment.
Higher Education and Continuing-Education Access Nearby
Frisco itself is not a major four-year university town, but it sits within a short drive of Collin College's multiple Collin County campuses (including a Frisco-area presence) and the broader DFW higher-education market (University of North Texas in Denton, UT Dallas in Richardson). A precise, independently verified list of every higher-ed option specifically inside Frisco city limits was not compiled this session; this is meant as a directional note rather than an exhaustive listing.
Key takeaways
- Frisco ISD earned an overall 'A' (score of 91) in the TEA's 2025-26 accountability ratings, its fifth consecutive year with an A rating, and remains the largest A-rated school district in Texas.
- The district is navigating its first enrollment decline in its history -- from a peak of roughly 67,000 students around 2023 to just over 60,000 cited in 2026 coverage -- and is consolidating campuses (Staley Middle School is closing) rather than only opening new ones.
- The district's $691 million 2023 bond is expected to be fully expended by 2027; a new, presumably needs-based bond is reportedly being planned for the next 12-18 months as of 2026.
- Frisco's city limits are served by more than one school district (Little Elm ISD, Lewisville ISD, Prosper ISD, and Plano ISD also cover portions of the city) -- confirm the specific assigned district and campus for any address via TXschools.gov.
