The District asked staff, students and guardians for their thoughts on the past school year, including quality of education, safety and security, and communication.
For the third straight year, Frisco ISD surveyed parents, staff members and students in grades 4-12 for feedback on their school and District.
The survey topics included Teaching and Learning; Student Support and Relationships; Whole Child Development; Safety, Security and Student Behavior; School Leadership, Culture and Environment; Family Involvement; and Future-Ready Learner.
Frisco ISD survey partner K12 Insight presented the results to campus principals and the Board of Trustees in May. Campuses, District leadership and Trustees use survey data to guide campus-based and district priorities.

The survey results provided valuable insights into perceptions and an opportunity to identify trends between the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years.
Feedback worth celebrating
Net Promoter Score: Parents/guardians were asked how likely they would be to recommend their school to someone in the area with a school-age child. A positive score means there are more people promoting a school than detracting from it. FISD’s average Net Promoter Score across all schools increased by 6 points, from 28 to 34.
Quality of Education: 95% of campus-based staff members rated the quality of education as Excellent or Good, followed by elementary students (88%), parents (87%) and secondary students (85%). The Frisco ISD school quality ratings are higher than last year.
Safety, Security, and Student Behavior: 92% of parents/guardians said their child feels safe at school, and 91% said their child’s school is safe.
Safety, Security, and Student Behavior: 82% of campus-based staff members said students treat staff members with respect and treat each other with respect, both increasing by 8% from last year.
Family Environment: There was high agreement between parents and students that teachers and staff are welcoming to all families.
Future-Ready Learner: A strong majority of parents and secondary students said students are challenged and supported in their ability to show compassion and respect toward others (90% and 87%, respectively, an increase over a year earlier) and to effectively communicate with others (85% and 84%, respectively).
Employee Experience: 92% of participating staff members said they enjoy being part of Frisco ISD.
Opportunities for improvement
Whole Child Development: 94% of campus-based staff members said teachers help students understand their strengths, but 72% of secondary students said the same.
