Frisco ISD has earned an “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency for its student performance. 

Zooming in: Frisco ISD’s overall score this year is 91 out of 100. Among its 76 schools, all Frisco ISD campuses received “A” or “B” ratings, apart from Staley Middle School, which received a “C” rating following its closure this summer. 2026 marks the fifth straight year Frisco ISD has received an "A" rating from TEA. 

“We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and we’ll keep listening, learning and making thoughtful changes to make sure every student has the support and opportunities they need to thrive,” Frisco ISD Superintendent Todd Fouche said in a district news release.

Ahead of the 2026-27 school year, public school leaders in Community Impact’s coverage areas shuttered at least nine individual schools to respond to repeated state accountability issues and stave off state intervention. A new Texas Education Agency rule may make it harder for districts to do so in the future.

The details: Beginning Aug. 16, if a district closes a D- or F-rated campus and transfers the largest share of students from the closed campus to a school with a C, D or F rating, the closed campus’ rating will be assigned to the new campus. 

Districts will only avoid transferring a shuttered school’s rating history if they relocate a plurality of students to an A- or B-rated campus.

Stay tuned: The TEA is scheduled to release A-F ratings for the 2025-26 school year on Aug. 14. If a school receives five failing ratings in a row, the TEA is required under state law to close that campus or replace the district’s board of trustees with a state-appointed board of managers.
