Riddle El

Riddle EL is a elementary school located in Plano, TX, serving grades 0–5 and approximately 813 students. Operated by Frisco ISD, the campus sits about 21.6 miles from The Dallas's newsroom and is part of The Dallas's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 45 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 18.1:1. That ratio is above the state average for TX, suggesting larger class sizes than the regional norm.

Riddle EL is a traditional zoned public school within Frisco ISD, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for TEA are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Dallas publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.

For families in Plano considering elementary placement, Riddle EL is one of the campuses The Dallas regularly covers — including school board decisions, bond elections, and individual program changes that affect enrollment.
