Hunt Middle, Frisco TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Hunt Middle

Hunt Middle sits in the fast-growing Dallas suburb of Frisco, serving a middle-school population drawn from neighborhoods anchored by sports complexes, tech-company offices, and affluent residential areas. The school enrolls students across grades six through eight, with a demographic mix that reflects Frisco's diversity: a substantial share of students are Asian, followed by White, Hispanic, and Black students in smaller but meaningful proportions. About a fifth of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The state assessment data from the most recent year shows Hunt performing solidly in reading and science. Eighth-grade reading results stand out, with the majority of students reaching proficiency. Sixth and seventh graders in reading also show majority proficiency. In science, eighth graders achieved majority proficiency as well. Math results are more mixed. Seventh graders outperformed peers in grades six and eight, with around three-quarters reaching proficiency; sixth and eighth graders landed closer to two-thirds. A significant soft spot appears in eighth-grade social studies, where less than half of students reached proficiency—a gap that a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand the reasons and any support the school is providing.

Across Texas proficiency frameworks that break down performance into levels, Hunt students show strength in approaching and meeting standards, with particularly strong rates in reading and science approaches. The school's rates of mastery-level performance (the highest tier) are moderate, sitting around half across most subjects, which suggests that while many students are competent, relatively fewer are operating at the highest achievement level.

When Hunt's performance is positioned against other schools in Collin County, the school ranks in the top quartile for its overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades, indicating it stands ahead of most district peers in the county on this measure.

Frisco itself is a high-growth, affluent area with a strong housing market and a thriving economy anchored by corporate headquarters, retail and entertainment anchors like Stonebriar Centre, and major sports facilities including the Dallas Cowboys' world headquarters at The Star. The community is actively investing in downtown revitalization and expanding mixed-use development. Median household income is above the state benchmark, and the area attracts families seeking proximity to well-resourced schools and upscale suburban living.

Hunt is a regular public middle school, not a magnet or charter program, and draws its enrollment from the broader district. The school website was not available in the data provided, so a parent seeking classroom details, teacher bios, clubs, or specific program offerings would want to contact the school directly or visit its site. No data on chronic absenteeism, discipline, staffing ratios, or course-specific offerings appeared in the available materials, so these are areas a prospective parent might explore in conversation with the school.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
