Prosper ISD has been adding campuses at a pace few Texas districts can match. Its 2026 accountability rating suggests the growth has not cost it academically.

The Texas Education Agency awarded the district an A with an overall score of 91. Of 31 rated campuses, 21 earned an A and nine earned a B. One, Judy Rucker Elementary, earned a C at 78. No campus received a D or an F.

The newer schools held up

Walnut Grove High School, among the district's most recent additions, scored 93 and earned an A. Lorene Rogers Middle School and Jim Spradley Elementary tied for the district's top score at 94.

New campuses often rate lower in their first cycles, as staff and students settle. Prosper's did not.

The numbers behind the grade

Student achievement came in at 92, an A, and closing the gaps at 90, also an A. School progress scored 82 and academic growth 82, both B ratings.

The district enrolls 33,583 students across 32 schools.

What to watch

The single C, at Judy Rucker Elementary, is the only campus in the district below a B. In a system this size that is a narrow band of variation.

Prosper's enrollment is still climbing, and each new campus enters the rating system fresh. Holding a district-wide A becomes arithmetically harder with every school added, which makes the 2027 and 2028 reports the real test of whether this year's result reflects a system or a moment.
