Summary

Butterfield Elementary in Sanger, TX, is a high-performing 1st through 5th grade school serving 503 students within the Sanger Independent School District (Isd), a district ranked in the top third of Texas.

Butterfield Elementary stands out as a clear academic leader in its region, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the 77th percentile statewide. Its academic achievement on STAAR tests in reading and mathematics is substantially higher than all nearby schools. For example, its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 55.8% is nearly 20 points higher than the next best school, Dyer Elementary, and more than double the rate of several Denton Independent School District (Isd) schools like Hodge Elementary, Ginnings Elementary, and Evers Park Elementary, which all rank in the bottom 20% of the state. The school is particularly effective with its economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide, and its Gifted and Talented program is a standout, ranking in the 97th percentile—an elite performance level that far exceeds any other subgroup at the school.

Butterfield’s success appears driven by strong school-level leadership and practices, as its district counterpart, Clear Creek Elementary, ranks much lower (37th percentile). The school has been a model of consistency, never ranking below the 69th percentile for the last eight years, and it efficiently translates its resources into strong outcomes, spending slightly above the state average per student while achieving far better results than schools with higher spending, such as Valley View Elementary.
