## Verdict
Wins on Stephanie’s commute, ties on schools. The Coppell HS pressure question is the real decision — if you walk the campus and feel ‘this is fine,’ Coppell becomes 1A with West Plano.

Pros: Coppell ISD is one of the top 15 districts in Texas — A+ on Niche, top 5% test scores; Closest of the top three to DFW airport (~12 min) — Stephanie wins her commute; Smaller, tighter-knit community than Plano or Frisco — feels like a town, not a sub-region.
Cons: Coppell HS AP participation is 77% — flag if you want a holistic culture; visit before committing; Aaron’s commute to Plano is the worst of the top three (25–35 min peak); Effective property tax slightly higher (~2.1–2.3%) than Plano.
