Summary

Blanton Elementary in Lantana, TX, is a high-performing public school serving 470 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd), consistently ranking in the 94th percentile statewide and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for seven of the last ten years. This school stands out as the top academic choice within the Lantana community, outperforming nearby peers like Dorothy P Adkins Elementary (86th percentile) and Ep Rayzor Elementary (75th percentile) in nearly every test score category. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 and per-student spending of $10,647, Blanton provides a strong foundation for academic success.

Blanton’s test scores dramatically exceed the Denton ISD average, with 3rd-grade reading proficiency at 83.82% compared to the district’s 50.67% and 3rd-grade math at 73.53% versus 39.98%. The school also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 94th to 98th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a rare achievement that far surpasses most neighboring schools. However, math scores have shown a slight dip, with 5th-grade math proficiency declining from 75.96% to 67.11% over recent years, though still well above district averages. Notably, the nearby charter Universal Academy-Bartonville (92nd percentile) outperformed Blanton in 3rd-grade math (85.71% vs. 73.53%), offering a competitive alternative for families focused on that subject.

Blanton serves a relatively affluent student body, with only 5.74% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the lowest rate among its immediate peers. While the school excels with special education students, it struggles with its low socioeconomic status subgroup, which ranked in the 43rd percentile in 2024-2025. Hispanic students, however, have shown a remarkable surge, jumping to the 97th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting effective new instructional strategies. For families in the Lantana area, Blanton remains the premier traditional public school choice, offering consistent top-tier performance and strong support for diverse learners.
