What stands out about Prosper ISD

  • Enrolment grew 74.1% here, from 14,348 students in FY2019 to 24,983 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
  • Its per-pupil spending of $27,270 is among the highest in the nation.
