Reuben Johnson Elementary has a diverse student population, with 52.37% White, 13.68% African American, 16.58% Hispanic, and 9.74% Asian students. The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a slight dip to a 3-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, there are some notable exceptions, such as lower proficiency rates in 3rd grade reading, 5th grade math, and 5th grade science. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and African American students generally performing better than the state average, while Hispanic and White students perform closer to the state average.
Compared to some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Comstock Elementary, Glen Oaks Elementary, and Earl & Lottie Wolford Elementary (all in the Frisco Independent School District), Reuben Johnson Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher STAAR proficiency rates, higher SchoolDigger rankings, and lower percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the school's increased spending per student from $9,303 in 2018-2019 to $10,149 in 2020-2021 has not yet translated into significantly higher academic performance.
