Frisco ISD enrollment update:
Centennial 2009
Frisco 1518
Heritage 2181
Independence 1957
Lebanon Trail 944 (9th and 10th)
Liberty 1983
Lone Star 2138
Reedy 1814
Wakeland 2198
Memorial HS will relieve Heritage, Lone Star and Wakeland. HS average is 4186 per grade. MS average is 4753 per grade. ES average is 4379 per grade. Looks like the growth might level off some, but then again more houses will still be coming. I think it would be smart to stick with 10 schools and try to bump up enrollment at Frisco HS rather than build HS 11. There is a committee working on whether or not FISD will build more HS this fall.
EDIT: Every single school, sans Wakeland, fell short of projections from 2015.

I'm surprised these numbers stayed this low. I knew the building had slowed up some and that Lebanon Trail had provided some relief. It looks like within a few more years Frisco ISD will be built out and there may be some stabilization of the boundaries. Ironically I've seen new construction in Plano, which was pretty much built out years ago. Also there is some construction in West Lucas (Allen ISD) on large lots and a lot of apartment complexes are going up in West Allen in the Medical district. I'm wondering in Allen will eventually exceed 7000. |

It also shows Frisco being ~62% built out at 162,000 residents, with build out coming in about 18 years to total over 300,000. |

I remember reading somewhere before that someone had speculated they might need a new high school south of US59. It might not be soon enough to keep Terry HS from going 6A in the spring though. They show Terry's enrollment now as being 2081 on the LCISD website and they have been climbing about 100 students per year. Foster's enrollment is shown 2044 despite having lost 3 partial classes to Fulshear with one more class to go. I doubt that they will try to even the enrollments between Foster and Fulshear because of geography, there's a lot of open space between the two areas. Fulshear should be 4A in the spring. |

I doubt that they will try to even the enrollments between Foster and Fulshear because of geography, there's a lot of open space between the two areas. Fulshear should be 4A in the spring. We'll see about Fulshear. Enrollment projections have Fulshear having 964 with 9-11. Using the 1.33 multiplier, the UIL number would be 1282, firmly in 5A. Terry was projected to have 2124 for 2017, so that would also firmly be 5A. I think Foster's numbers were due to the full senior class -- projections have that school at 1709. LCISD's moderate growth projections have been spot on, so a school in 2020 to relieve Terry and George Ranch should be able to keep 6 5A schools and the new one at 4A for a bit. Since the bonds are coming every 3 years, expect a bond around 2023 to relieve Fulshear and Foster. www.lcisd.org/docs/default-source/general-information/demographic-reports/overview/2017-lamar-cisd-demographic-overview.pdf?sfvrsn=2 |

2018-19 Frisco ISD preliminary attendance zones have been presented. Projected enrollments are as follows: Centennial 1965 Frisco 1653 Heritage1970 Independence 2067 Lebanon Trail 1321 Liberty 1978 Lone Star 2020 Memorial 1148 Reedy 1885 Wakeland 1978 While FISD is known for NOT opting schools up, those all happened before the budget cuts. While there has been no announcement or rumors of any kind come from FISD, expect for all 10 schools to be 5A D1 in 2018. In other words, the rumor starts here, so I may try to confirm in the coming weeks. (EDIT-Just listened to Stepp on DCTF say that Padilla reported FISD will opt everyone up to D1. My intuition was correct!) These zones should last at least through the 2020-21 alignment as it is projected to keep all 10 schools under 2185. By that time, the 5A/6A cutoff could be between 2250 and 2300. If a school is in jeopardy of going over, FISD could tweak its zones. That is, of course, assuming FISD decides this school year to keep small schools. www.friscoisd.org/docs/default-source/attendance-zones/2018-19-rezoning-recommendations---board-meeting-10-16-2017.pdf?sfvrsn=4 |

And Memorial will have 4A numbers (or close to it). At least one of those programs is getting a win (and let’s face it, Heritage and Liberty could be winnable games). At least Frisco’s numbers are increasing. |

Actually, FISD Memorial is going to get a lot of current Lone Star zoned kids. They are also getting Trent MS kids, which, right now has an unbeaten 8th grade team. I would look for Memorial to be very competitive immediately and be a top level team in 2-3 years. I just hope the coaching staff is a good one. The coaching staff and culture at the HS level makes as much of a difference as the players.

Being perhaps the smallest 5A school, with a brand new team and no seniors, they will likely not compete right away or even in year 2. |

Being perhaps the smallest 5A school, with a brand new team and no seniors, they will likely not compete right away or even in year 2. Lack of stadiums will hurt the new schools. Financially I like what Frisco did with the nice stadiums (2 are part ownership/rentals) and the mid-sized schools that allow for better participation. If Frisco was one mega-school a lot of kids would not get to experience High School sports. However there are drawbacks to the model. A whole new set of problems will occur if FISD abandons the small school model now... |
