Summary

Nette Shultz is a high-performing PK-5 school in Denton, TX, serving 748 students within the Denton Independent School District (Isd) and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years. This school stands out as a clear academic leader in its area, consistently ranking in the 76th to 87th percentile statewide, while nearby schools like Hodge Elementary and Alice Moore Alexander rank in the bottom 20%. Nette Shultz outperforms district and state averages in every grade level for both Reading and Math, with 4th-grade Reading scores at 65.41% compared to the district's 51.83% and state's 53.04%.

The school demonstrates broad-based effectiveness, earning 4-star ratings for Male, Hispanic, White, and Special Education students, though there is a notable decline for African American students, dropping from the 62nd percentile to the 33rd percentile in recent years. Interestingly, Nette Shultz achieves superior results with greater financial efficiency, spending $11,320 per student—less than lower-performing peers like Borman Elementary ($14,102) and Rivera Elementary ($12,351). This suggests highly effective instructional strategies and resource management rather than simply higher spending.

However, there are areas for improvement. The school's Gifted and Talented program earned a 1-star rating (26th percentile), indicating that while most students reach proficiency, the highest achievers may not be sufficiently challenged. Additionally, Spanish-language test scores are mixed, with 5th-grade Spanish Reading at 0%, signaling a need for enhanced support for Spanish-speaking students as they approach middle school. Despite these challenges, Nette Shultz remains a top choice for families seeking strong academic standards within the Denton ISD boundary, acting as a magnet for those prioritizing high performance.
