What is the best middle school in Plano?
Fowler Middle in Plano, Texas ranks first among middle schools in Plano with a Success Index (US) of 89.2 out of 100 (Enrollment: 967).
How are middle schools in Plano ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
