Access Frisco is an exciting initiative that opens the doors of Frisco ISD to students beyond current Frisco ISD attendance zones, extending access to the top-tier education Frisco ISD is known for. Students entering Kindergarten through 7th-grade are welcome to apply.

This program will not only allow more students to experience the academic excellence and vibrant community that define FISD, but it will also strengthen our district by broadening perspectives, fostering connections and enhancing opportunities for all students.

FISD is dedicated to knowing every student by name and need. Through Access Frisco, we can embrace that mission even more broadly by inviting new families to join our community. Added enrollment will enable us to optimize our class sizes, offer a diverse range of programs and greater opportunities for all our students to thrive.

Access Frisco Eligibility

To be eligible for Access Frisco, the student must meet the following criteria:

  • Resident of the State of Texas at the time of transfer request submission.

  • In the prior two academic years, the student had no more than 8 unexcused absences per year and no more than 10 unexcused late arrivals or late pick-ups to and from school.

  • In the prior academic year, the student’s total attendance was 90% or better, including both excused and unexcused absences.

  • In the prior academic year, the student was not expelled and did not attend JJAEP, was not placed at DAEP, and did not exhibit persistent behavior concerns (3 or more office referrals).

  • The student demonstrates appropriate academic progress, as demonstrated by passing grades in most core academic subjects and satisfactory scores on standardized assessments, if applicable.

  • Student’s admission would not require the District to hire new staff, reassign existing staff, or provide specialized training to existing staff at the campus and grade level indicated in the transfer request and campus assignment.

To demonstrate eligibility for an Access Frisco transfer, documents demonstrating eligibility in all categories above must be submitted within the timeline provided by the District. Please submit documents verifying eligibility promptly to avoid a denial of the associated transfer request.

Transportation

Parents whose Access Frisco request is approved will be responsible for providing transportation to and from the campus.

  • Frisco ISD will not provide specialized transportation as a related service under an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for Access Frisco because such specialized transportation as a related service is available in the student’s home district.

Transfer students must be delivered and picked up from their assigned campus and/or activities on time.

  • Requesting and accepting a transfer constitutes a parent’s assurance that safe and timely transportation will be provided to and from the approved campus.

  • A transfer may be revoked if the parent does not provide safe and timely transportation.
