Summary

Annie Webb Blanton Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Pleasant Grove area of Dallas, TX, serving 685 students as part of the Dallas Independent School District (Isd).

Blanton Elementary stands out for its exceptional math performance, with 5th graders achieving an 80.49% proficiency rate in 2025-2026—33 points higher than both the district and state averages. This math strength has been consistent over recent years, with 3rd and 4th graders previously scoring 72% and 80% proficiency, far exceeding state averages. The school also excels at supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide for this group, and has historically been strong for English Language Learners, ranking in the 92nd percentile in 2022-2023. However, reading proficiency remains a challenge, with scores consistently lagging behind district and state averages by 7 to 19 percentage points. Additionally, there is a significant gender gap, with female students ranking in the 69th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 46th percentile.

Compared to nearby schools, Blanton is a beacon of relative success. In the 2025-2026 state rankings, it earned a 58th percentile (3 stars), outperforming most neighbors like Edward Titche Elementary (14th percentile), Pleasant Grove Elementary (21st percentile), and John Q Adams Elementary (32nd percentile). Only San Jacinto Elementary (74th percentile) outperforms it. Blanton also shows a fascinating bilingual success story: students taking the Spanish version of the STAAR reading test consistently outperform those taking the English version, suggesting effective bilingual programs. The school's main challenge is supporting its highest-achieving students, as it ranks in the 21st percentile for gifted and talented students, indicating resources may be focused more on intervention than enrichment.
