Elementary Schools in Denton Independent School District (Isd)

Summary:

The Denton Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 26 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary greatly in their academic performance, student demographics, and available resources, with some standout institutions like Hawk Elementary and Blanton Elementary consistently ranking among the top in the district and state.

The data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools like Rivera Elementary and Alice Moore Alexander struggling to meet state standards due to their high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, the high-performing Hawk Elementary and Blanton Elementary have much lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

The data also highlights the importance of school resources, as the schools with higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, such as Borman Elementary, tend to have better academic outcomes. However, the relationship between racial diversity and performance is less clear, with some of the highest-achieving schools, like Nette Shultz, having more diverse student populations.
