Summary

Denton Creek Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Coppell, TX, serving 497 students as part of the highly-regarded Coppell Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 2% of Texas school districts.

Denton Creek has historically been a top-tier school, but recent data shows a notable decline. After consistently ranking in the 93rd to 97th percentile statewide, it has dropped to the 82nd percentile, making it the lowest-ranked elementary in its district. This decline is driven largely by a sharp drop in 5th-grade math proficiency—only 48.54% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, down from 83% two years prior and far below the district average. Interestingly, the school shows a clear strength in supporting English Language Learners, who rank in the 94th percentile statewide. However, it struggles significantly with low socio-economic status students, who rank in the bottom 12% of the state. There is also a persistent gender performance gap, with female students outperforming male students by a wide margin.

When compared to nearby schools, Denton Creek’s challenges appear school-specific. For example, Town Center Elementary, located just 0.64 miles away and with similar demographics, has risen to the 88th percentile while Denton Creek has fallen. Other district schools like Wilson Elementary (93rd percentile) and Mockingbird Elementary (91st percentile) also rank significantly higher. On a positive note, Denton Creek’s bilingual program is a hidden asset—50% of students taking the Spanish STAAR were proficient, well above the state average. Overall, the school is at a critical juncture, and its recent trajectory warrants attention from the district to address the root causes of its decline.
