The Frisco ISD Board of Trustees in early November (2021) finalized attendance zones for the 2022-23 school year.

The changes will determine what schools students will attend in the future.

Frisco ISD said the approved zones will help balance enrollment and resources at existing schools. The changes will also help the district prepare for the opening of two new campuses: Panther Creek High School and Minett Elementary School.

As Minett Elementary School opens to students in August of 2022, some neighborhoods within the current Boals, Corbell, Miller, Newman, Phillips, Purefoy, Robertson and Sparks elementary school zones are part of the adjusted zones. 

The Board of Trustees agreed to offer incoming fifth graders the opportunity to finish their last year at the campus they attended in the 2021-22 school year. They can also elect to move to the newly approved zone. 

  •  Some residential areas in the current Miller zone will move to Phillips Elementary. 
  •  Some residential areas in the current Phillips Elementary zone will move to either Boals Elementary or Robertson Elementary.
  •  Some residential areas in the current Corbell Elementary zone will move to Purefoy Elementary. 
  •  Some neighborhoods from Newman Elementary will be zoned to Minett Elementary. 
  •  Some neighborhoods from Sparks Elementary will be zoned for Fisher Elementary.

The approved zone change will move about 100 Pioneer Heritage students to Cobb Middle School. 

The Board of Trustees agreed to offer incoming eighth graders the opportunity to finish their last year at Pioneer Heritage if they do not want to transfer to Cobb. 

In the approved adjustment, Pioneer Heritage also gained a new zone that runs along the Dallas North Tollway from Main Street to Cotton Gin. The zone is flanked by Legacy Drive on the west side and does not currently have any buildings or students.

Changes to the Frisco, Lone Star, Reedy, Memorial and Wakeland high school attendance zones are included in the approved changes.  

  • Panther Creek High School will open in the fall of 2022 with incoming ninth, tenth and eleventh grade students from the current Lone Star and Memorial high school zones. Incoming freshmen, sophomores and juniors who have an older sibling at Lone Star or Memorial can choose to attend the same high school as their sibling and remain there through their own graduation.

  • Select residential areas currently zoned for Reedy High School will instead attend Frisco High School beginning in 2022-23. The change will impact incoming ninth and tenth graders as well as future classes; incoming juniors and seniors will not be affected. Incoming ninth and tenth grade students with an older sibling at Reedy can elect to stay at Reedy through their own graduation.

  • Some residential areas of Frisco High School will instead attend Wakeland High School. This change will impact incoming ninth graders as well as future classes; incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors will not be affected. Incoming freshmen who have an older sibling who attends Frisco High School can elect to attend either Wakeland or Frisco High School through their own graduation.

    Select residential areas currently zoned for Reedy High School will instead attend Wakeland High School beginning in the 2022-23 school year. The approved change will impact incoming ninth and tenth graders as well as future classes; incoming juniors and seniors will not be affected. Incoming ninth and tenth graders with an older sibling at Reedy High School can elect to move to Wakeland or to attend Reedy through their own graduation.
