Among the school districts serving our coverage area, Melissa ISD is the only one where every rated campus earned an A or a B.

The district's 2026 accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency is an A, with an overall score of 91. Of its eight rated campuses, four earned an A and four earned a B. There are no C, D or F campuses in the district.

Matching much larger neighbors

That score of 91 is identical to Frisco ISD and Prosper ISD, districts enrolling 62,627 and 33,583 students. Melissa ISD enrolls 8,560 across nine schools.

Melissa High School led the district at 95, followed by Harry McKillop Elementary at 93 and Willow Wood Elementary at 92. The lowest score in the district belongs to Sumeer Elementary at 88, which is still a B and would rank comfortably in the upper half of most districts.

The domain detail

Melissa scored 92 in student achievement, an A. Closing the gaps came in at 89 and school progress at 80, both B ratings, with academic growth also at 80.

The narrow spread between the district's best and worst campus, 95 down to 87, is unusual. In most districts that gap runs 30 or 40 points.

The context

Melissa is one of the faster-growing towns in Collin County, and rapid enrollment growth typically shows up in accountability data as strain: new campuses opening mid-cycle, staff stretched, scores dipping before they recover.

That has not happened here yet. Whether it holds as the district keeps adding students is the question its 2027 report will answer.
