Summary

Blanton Elementary in Carrollton, TX, is a PK-5 school in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (Isd) serving 503 students, and it stands out for its exceptional support of students from low-income backgrounds and those in special education, despite serving a community where 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Blanton’s most impressive strength is its work with special education students, who rank in the 88th percentile statewide—a consistent achievement over three years that far outpaces nearby schools like Thompson Elementary. The school also excels with low socio-economic status (SES) students, who rank in the 77th percentile, outperforming the school’s overall 64th percentile ranking. This is a notable contrast to Davis Elementary and Sheffield Elementary, which have similar poverty levels but don’t show the same subgroup success. Blanton has also staged a dramatic turnaround from a low of the 24th percentile in 2021-2022 to its current 3-star rating, a much steeper recovery than Davis Elementary’s more stable performance over the same period.

However, Blanton faces a significant challenge with a “5th grade wall” in math and science. While 3rd and 4th graders score well above district averages in math, 5th graders lag 14 points below the district average—a stark contrast to high-performing McCoy Elementary, where 82.9% of 5th graders are proficient in math. This pattern suggests a possible curriculum or instructional gap at the upper grade level. Additionally, the school’s Spanish-language STAAR program shows mixed results, with strong 4th-grade reading scores but 0% proficiency for 3rd graders in Spanish math. Despite these issues, Blanton’s strong early math foundation and its ability to outperform expectations given its poverty level—especially compared to Sheffield Elementary (0 stars, 81% FRL)—highlight the effectiveness of its staff in overcoming socio-economic challenges.
