Summary

Newton Rayzor Elementary is a public elementary school in Denton, Texas, serving 606 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Denton Independent School District.

The school has shown mixed academic performance, with strengths in 3rd-5th grade reading proficiency that outpace the district and state averages, but weaknesses in math, science, and STAAR Spanish assessments where it underperforms. Newton Rayzor's student subgroups also exhibit significant disparities, with White and special education students performing relatively better, while African American, Hispanic, English Learner, and economically disadvantaged students struggle. However, the school's gifted and talented program ranks in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools, indicating it effectively supports high-performing students.

Compared to nearby schools, Nette Shultz outperforms Newton Rayzor in both academic achievement and school environment metrics, while the North Texas Collegiate Academy charter school also surpasses Newton Rayzor in reading and math proficiency. To address these challenges, Newton Rayzor may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to support underperforming student subgroups and strengthen its programs for English Learners and Spanish-speaking students.
