Original Research by School Decision on Talley El
Talley Elementary sits on Coit Road in Frisco, Texas, a kindergarten through fifth grade campus within Frisco ISD. Its academic profile is one of the strongest among elementary schools in the data available for Collin County districts. Across every tested grade and subject on the Texas STAAR assessment, the vast majority of students score at or above the proficiency threshold. Math results are particularly high across third, fourth, and fifth grades, with proficiency holding well above the state norm at each level and climbing as students move up. Reading and language arts results are similar, with fifth graders posting the highest marks. Science, tested only at fifth grade, comes in somewhat lower than math and ELA but still reflects solid performance. The proportion of students reaching the highest performance tier, what Texas calls Masters, is also strong across subjects, most visibly in math and ELA. Social studies at the Masters level is comparably lower, a gap a parent may want to ask the school about directly. When Talley's overall proficiency index is placed against all districts in Collin County, the school sits in the top quartile of that set, which is a clear strength. Only one year of data is available, so trend direction cannot be assessed.
The student body is heavily concentrated in one demographic group. Asian students make up the large majority of enrollment, with all other groups present in much smaller numbers. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch is quite low, meaning the school draws from an economically comfortable population. Data on English learner enrollment and students with IEPs was not reported, so those populations cannot be characterized here.
Enrollment runs in the mid-hundreds, which is a moderate size for a Texas elementary school. The grade-by-grade counts suggest the school has grown as students move through, with the upper grades notably larger than kindergarten. The data does not include chronic absenteeism or discipline figures.

Frisco itself shapes the context considerably. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, publicly reported as having expanded from a small town to a city of well over a hundred thousand people in roughly two decades, with growth continuing at a moderate pace. The housing market around Talley reflects that trajectory. Home values in the relevant zip code are well above both the Texas and national medians, and the estimated monthly carrying cost for a purchase at current values is substantial. Rents are also above national norms, though both home values and rents have dipped modestly year over year. For families weighing the cost of living against school access, this is a genuinely expensive market.
The city is auto-dependent for everyday life. Frisco does not participate in the Dallas DART rail network and operates only a demand-response and microtransit service connecting to the nearest DART park-and-ride well to the south. Publicly reported developments include a multi-hundred-million-dollar downtown revitalization effort in the historic Rail District, a major mixed-use project at the PGA Parkway corridor, and civic anchors like an extensive trail network and the Northeast Community Park athletic complex. Large sports venues, including the Dallas Cowboys headquarters campus and facilities shared between the city and Frisco ISD high schools, give the city an unusually prominent entertainment profile for a suburb. For a family considering where to buy or rent, Frisco's growth trajectory means the surrounding area continues to change, with new housing and commercial development proceeding across multiple large projects simultaneously.
Frisco ISD's strategic priorities were not available from the district brief search, so that context was left out rather than guessed at.
