Summary

Newton Rayzor Elementary in Denton, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 674 students in grades PK through 5, and it is part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd). The school has shown a steady recovery over the last three years, climbing to a 3-star rating (52nd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year after a post-pandemic dip, and it stands out for its strong and consistent reading performance, which beats both district and state averages across all tested grades.

However, Newton Rayzor has a significant and persistent math gap, with proficiency scores in every grade falling well below state benchmarks—for example, 4th-grade math proficiency was 37.23% compared to the state's 49.28%. This math weakness is a key differentiator from nearby top performers like Nette Shultz (79th percentile), which excels in both reading and math despite having a similar student-teacher ratio and slightly lower economic disadvantage. The school also shows a dramatic split in subgroup performance: it is exceptionally effective with special education students (72nd percentile, 4 stars), but struggles profoundly with Hispanic students (11th percentile), low socio-economic status students (9th percentile), and English Language Learners (10th percentile). This suggests that while the school has strong targeted support for special needs, it has not yet found effective strategies for closing achievement gaps for other groups.

Compared to other nearby schools in the district, Newton Rayzor is a relatively stronger option, outperforming Hodge Elementary (17th percentile), Alice Moore Alexander (10th percentile), and Rivera Elementary (8th percentile). However, it is outperformed by Houston Elementary (66th percentile) and Nette Shultz. The school's recovery is encouraging, but its math deficit and volatile subgroup rankings—such as African American students swinging from the 10th to the 75th percentile in one year—indicate that success may depend heavily on specific student cohorts rather than stable programs.
