Liscano Elementary

Summary:

Liscano Elementary is a public elementary school in Frisco, Texas, serving 703 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

Liscano Elementary's students excel on STAAR tests, with significantly higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the Frisco Independent School District and the state of Texas. The school's performance is particularly strong across diverse student subgroups, including female students, Asian students, African American students, and students with special needs. Interestingly, Liscano has a unique racial composition, with around 80% of its students being Asian, which is higher than the nearby schools like McSpedden Elementary and Norris Elementary.

Another notable aspect of Liscano Elementary is its low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 2-4% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly lower than the district and state averages. This suggests that the school serves a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its academic success, but also raises questions about equity and representation within the Frisco Independent School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
