Collin County Education: Which district had most students enrolled in schools in 2023-24 school year

Frisco ISD had the highest enrollment among Collin County districts, welcoming 66,698 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2023-24 school year, 51.8% of them were boys, and 48.2% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Frisco ISD students was Asian, accounting for 42.5% of the student population.

Among the 21 districts in Collin County, Plano ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 47,899 students, while Prosper ISD welcomed 28,467 students and ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Frisco ISD roughly covers schools within Collin County with its main office in Frisco.

In the previous school year, Frisco ISD had the highest number of students among Collin County districts.

A recent study by WalletHub classified Texas as one of the least-educated states in the U.S., ranking it 41st out of 50 in educational quality and student outcomes.

Underfunding is a frequently cited challenge facing the state’s school district. According to a 2024 report from the Texas Education Agency, per-pupil funding has not increased since 2019, despite inflation rates rising by more than 20% since then.

“As a result, many districts in our very own Central Texas region are being forced to cut back on essential programs, services, consider school closures, and adopt deficit budgets just to provide students with the education that they deserve,” Hutto ISD Trustee James Matlock stated in an interview.
