As a physician relocating to Frisco, you’ll discover that education is one of the city’s greatest strengths. From nationally recognized public schools to elite private academies, Frisco’s educational offerings nurture academic excellence, character development, and career readiness—providing a powerful foundation for your children’s future.
Frisco Independent School District (FISD) consistently ranks among the best in Texas, earning an “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency. With a “small schools within a big district” philosophy, high schools are capped at ~2,100 students to promote individualized attention while retaining large-district resources.
FISD’s STEM programs align perfectly with the academic values of physician families. From elementary labs to high school academies, students receive early exposure to science, technology, engineering, and math with hands-on applications and mentorship.
For advanced learners, FISD offers EXPO gifted programming, Pre-AP, AP, and IB courses, and dual credit with Collin College. FISD students recently took 13,000+ AP exams with an 85% pass rate—well above national averages.
Frisco’s commitment to education is evident in recent investments: a $43M CTE Center for healthcare and tech training, a $24M Fine Arts Center for performances and exhibitions, and a $943M bond package funding future-ready campuses.
Language immersion options include Spanish/English Dual Language Programs and robust world language instruction in Spanish, French, German, Latin, ASL, and Mandarin. These programs develop bilingual skills valuable in both healthcare and global citizenship.
For those seeking private education, Frisco offers top-tier options with a range of philosophies—from classical to progressive. Many private schools offer low student-teacher ratios, AP/IB tracks, and faith-based or secular curriculums.
Preschool options are equally strong. Programs like Primrose Schools, The Goddard School, and Frisco Montessori Academy offer academic foundations and flexible hours—perfect for physicians balancing family and clinical responsibilities.
Higher education opportunities include University of North Texas at Frisco, Collin College – Preston Ridge Campus, and clinical education collaborations with Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine—providing options for career advancement, mentorship, and lifelong learning.
What sets Frisco apart is its community-wide commitment to education. Through partnerships with Baylor Scott & White, local businesses, universities, and the Frisco Education Foundation, students benefit from real-world exposure, internships, scholarships, and a collaborative culture of achievement. As a physician parent, you'll be welcomed as both a community leader and educational contributor—while watching your children thrive.
