Summary

Ginnings Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on STAAR assessments, particularly in mathematics and science. Only 55.56% of 3rd graders were proficient in STAAR Reading, compared to 52.13% for Denton ISD and 52.02% for Texas. The school's ranking has declined over the years, from 1839 out of 4359 in 2017-2018 to 3967 out of 4651 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools.

Interestingly, Ginnings Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools within the Denton ISD, such as Hodge Elementary, Evers Park Elementary, and Nette Shultz, which have higher academic proficiency rates and better student rankings. The school's struggles with the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, suggest a need for targeted support and specialized instructional strategies.
