Summary

Hodge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Denton, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 646 students. It is part of the Denton Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 530 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hodge Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,238 and 4,297 out of around 4,600 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is significantly below the Denton ISD and Texas state averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of Hodge Elementary students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades is 44.62%, 32%, and 47.57%, respectively, compared to the Denton ISD averages of 52.13%, 51.85%, and 55.66%, and the Texas state averages of 52.02%, 53.73%, and 57.83%.

The nearby schools in the Denton ISD, such as Newton Rayzor Elementary, Evers Park Elementary, and Nette Shultz, generally perform better than Hodge Elementary on STAAR assessments and have higher rankings within the state. These schools have a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students and tend to have better student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Hodge Elementary, including its limited resources and funding, will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve the overall educational outcomes for all students at the school.
