Published guideline
Transportation is generally available at two miles or more from the assigned school.
Frisco ISD publishes limited roadway exceptions for elementary and middle school students. These include routes that require crossing certain six-lane roads, tollways, state highways, or farm-to-market roads.
Why Frisco’s measurement is more specific than a map estimate
Family Move Plan estimates road distance from the entered address to nearby grade-appropriate schools. Frisco ISD starts and ends its official measurement at different points, the school flagpole and the curb in front of the home, and uses the shortest route that can be traveled.
The difference matters near the two-mile line. A Google route is useful for comparing homes, but Frisco ISD must confirm the assigned campus, official measurement, any roadway exception, and the available My Ride K-12 route.
Flagpole to curb
The district measures between the school flagpole and the curb in front of the residence.
Traversable route
The official distance uses the shortest traversable route rather than a simple straight line.
Roadway exceptions
Certain elementary and middle school walking routes involving specified high-risk roadways may qualify inside two miles.
