Plano ISD has been cited by two national organizations recently as being among the best school districts in the United States.

SchoolMatch® ‘What Parents Want' Award
For the 16th consecutive year, Plano ISD has received a “What Parents Want” award from SchoolMatch® of Columbus, Ohio, the nation’s largest school selection consulting firm. Only 16 percent of the nation’s 15,571 public school districts (2,516) have been recognized for meeting the needs of families choosing schools through the consulting company.

Expansion Management Magazine ‘Gold Medal’ Rating
A business magazine for companies actively seeking to expand or relocate their facilities, Expansion Management Magazine named Plano ISD among 2,800 school districts across the U.S. to earn a “Gold Medal” rating through its 16th Annual Education QuotientTM ratings.

The magazine evaluates districts based on graduate outcomes, the community’s support of education and adult education/income.
