Summary

Dorothy P Adkins Elementary is a public school in Lantana, TX, serving 452 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Denton Independent School District (Isd).

Adkins Elementary is a solid, above-average school that consistently ranks in the 85th to 90th percentile statewide, though it is not the top performer in its competitive neighborhood. It is outperformed by nearby schools like McAuliffe Elementary (95th percentile), Liberty Elementary (94th percentile), and Wellington Elementary (98th percentile). The school’s greatest strength is its exceptional performance in mathematics, where 4th and 5th graders score 20-28 percentage points higher than the district average. However, there is a persistent achievement gap between female students (93rd percentile) and male students (76th percentile). The school also spends significantly more per student ($12,026) than its higher-performing neighbors, which raises questions about resource efficiency.

Adkins shows inconsistent support for some student groups. While its special education students have shown dramatic improvement, jumping from the 24th to the 81st percentile in recent years, performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds has been volatile, ranging from the 9th to the 59th percentile. The school’s overall ranking has also seen a slight downward trend over the last three years, dropping from the 90th to the 86th percentile. For parents considering this school, it offers a strong math program and a favorable 13:1 student-teacher ratio, but it is worth comparing it to nearby options like Blanton Elementary, which achieves higher rankings with lower spending.
