Frisco is one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas, with new schools opening every year. None of them specialize in dyslexia or learning differences. For Starwood families whose child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or auditory processing disorder, the closest dedicated school is Fairhill.
Our campus at 16150 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75248 is about 20 minutes south of Starwood. Families from throughout Frisco have been making this drive for years.
No Substitute in Frisco
Frisco ISD provides accommodations for students with learning differences. But accommodations modify the edges of a system that was not designed for your child. Extended time on tests does not change how the material is taught. Preferential seating does not change a class of 28.
At Fairhill, the teaching method itself is different. Multisensory instruction designed for how students with dyslexia process language and information. A 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio so your child gets direct attention every class period. Executive function development woven into daily academics, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Every classroom, every day. Teachers know your child by name and catch struggles before they become failures.
Our graduates arrive at college knowing how they learn, what they need, and how to advocate for themselves.
Since 1971. 70% of faculty hold advanced degrees with 12-15 years average tenure teaching students with learning differences.
What Changes
One concern Frisco parents raise: will leaving a strong district hurt my child’s college prospects? The data says no. Fairhill graduates have a 100% college acceptance rate. More importantly, they arrive at college knowing how they learn, what tools they need, and how to ask for support.
Faculty who chose this specialty bring 12-15 years of average tenure and 70% hold advanced degrees. They have seen every combination of diagnoses and know how to teach through all of them.
Fairhill is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Credits transfer fully, and transcripts are recognized by universities nationwide.
